# §1944.502. Policy.

- (a) The policy of the Rural Development is to provide Technical and Supervisory Assistance to eligible applicants to do the following:
  - (1) Provide homeownership and financial counseling to reduce both the potential for delinquency by loan applicants and the level of payment delinquency by present Rural Development housing loan borrowers; and
  - (2) Facilitate the delivery of housing programs to serve the most needy low-income families in rural areas of greatest need for housing.
- (b) **Rural Development intends to fund projects which include counseling and delivery of housing programs.**
- (c) State Directors are given a strong role in the selection of grantees so this program can complement Rural Development's policies of targeting Rural Development resources to areas of greatest need within their States.
- (d) Rural Development expects grant recipients to implement a TSA program and not to use TSA funds to prepare housing plans and strategies except as necessary to accomplish the specific objectives of the TSA project.
