CENSUS '90 Farmers Home to Begin New Guaranteed Community Loan Program (Portland, Oregon) - The Farmers Home Administra tion is extending its guaranteed loans to community program projects, thereby expanding its lending ability, FmHA State Director Donald d. Thompson said today. Until now, all of FmHA's loans for water and sewer systems, fire stations, health clinics and other commu nity facilities, have been direct loans from the agency to the borrower. "With the addition of guaranteed loans, we can now assist communities that are able to qualify for commer cial loans with the support of an FmHA guarantee, " Thompson said. Under this program, FmHa guarantees a loan made by a bank, savings and loan, insurance company, Federal Land Bank or other qualified lender against a certain percentage of loss. Since the mid-1980's, guarantees have become the major component of FmHA's farm loan program, accounting for more than 50 percent of all farm loans. The 1990 fiscal year appropriations bill authorized $74.5 million in guaranteed loans for water and waste disposal loans and $23.9 million for other community facilities on a national basis. Prospective borrowers and lenders interested in the program should contract Farmers Home Administration District Offices at Ontario, Clackamas and Eugene.
