USDA Approved house plans refer to residential building designs that comply with the guidelines set by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These guidelines are primarily focused on rural development and aim to ensure that homes meet certain standards for safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

The Rural Housing Service (RHS) was created in 1994 as a result of the Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act to meet housing and community development needs of rural America. Our USDA Approved house plans are approved for use in their very popular rural housing loan. The program has become an increasingly popular way for families and individuals to become homeowners with the help of the various loan programs that are available to aid rural area residents to build a new home.

• Rural Location Compatibility: These plans are designed with rural living in mind, meeting the specific needs and challenges of homes in rural areas.

• Energy Efficiency: USDA Approved house plans often emphasize energy-efficient features to reduce environmental impact and lower utility costs.

• Safety Standards: Compliance with safety regulations to ensure the well-being of the occupants.
