NOTICE OF CHANGES TO ELIGIBLE AREA MAPS FOR USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT HOUSING PROGRAMS
USDA Rural Development has completed its 2017-2018 periodic review of all areas under its jurisdiction to identify areas that no longer qualify as rural for USDA Rural Housing programs. Based on the review of the areas within the state of Nevada, using the 2015 American Community Survey data, and rural area guidance located in Handbook HB-1-3550, Chapter 5, the rural eligibility designation has changed for the following areas:
Areas Determined Ineligible:
1) Sun Valley, NV
2) City Limits of Reno, NV (Various Areas Annexed Into Reno)
3) City Limits of Sparks, NV (Various Areas Annexed Into Sparks)
Areas Determined Eligible:
1) Pahrump
The changes will become effective on June 4, 2018. Areas that are no longer considered rural or rural in character and that will not be eligible for the USDA Rural Housing Programs can be viewed at https://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/eligibility/welcomeAction.do by clicking on either "Single Family Housing Guaranteed", "Single Family Housing Direct" or Multi-Family Housing" and then selecting "Proposed Ineligible Areas" tab.
For details, or questions about specific changes, please contact the Nevada Rural Development Housing Program Staff at 775-887-1222.
