Information sent by Rural Development on June 23, 2026:
To our valued stakeholders,
On June 17, 2026, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a reorganization of the Rural Development mission area to strengthen customer service, improve program accessibility, and enhance support for rural communities across the country. This effort aligns with USDA’s broader initiative to modernize operations, increase accountability, and ensure federal resources are positioned where they can deliver the greatest impact.
As part of this, USDA Rural Development will consolidate loan origination, processing, and servicing functions under one centralized national framework and incorporate modernized IT systems. These improvements will strengthen quality control, reduce delinquency, and protect taxpayer dollars while improving agency responsiveness to customers.
To learn more about some of these upcoming improvements we invite you to join a listening session with agency leaders.
