Comforts of Home Loan Helps Family Settle in New House
Debra Rodriguez of Finney County secured a USDA rural development loan to buy a three bedroom, one bath home on South Farmland Road. The $138,200 loan, a county maximum at the time, aided by ARRA funds, supports low income families with steady employment like Rodriguez, who works for Tyson Fresh Meats Inc. The family moved in after housing upgrades and plan to finish the basement to give each child a room and a second bathroom. The program funded 41 loans in Finney County from 2008 to 2009, with a Sept. 30 cutoff for this year’s allocation.
