SENDD has four certified loan packagers on staff who can assist qualified borrowers with applying for a USDA 502 or USDA 504 loan.

Many communities and counties throughout the SENDD region have taken a proactive approach to implementing housing solutions by first commissioning a housing study. These documents are crucial to housing project development/successful grant applications. We encourage all member communities to maintain a current housing study. Please contact us if your community is interested in creating or updating a housing study. Some funding may be available to assist with the creation of the study. Housing studies are available on request.
