To qualify, applicants must be under the low-income limit for the county in which they live (80% of median income), have an acceptable credit histo- ry, and meet certain debt to in- come ratios. The current inter- est rate is 5.875% fixed (33 years). No down payment is re- quired, and funds for repairs (and sometimes closing costs) may be included in the loan. The unique feature about USDA Rural Development mortgages is that the payments may be subsidized, or reduced, based on the applicant’s in- come. Please call the Wyoming Lo- cal Office at (570) 836-4157, ext. 4, for more information. You may be prequalified over the telephone, if you supply your annual gross household income and monthly debt pay- ments. Deductions to the annu- al gross income are made for the number of children in the household, child care expenses and persons with disabilities. USDA Rural Development does not compete with other lenders. In fact, USDA Rural Development will participate in a joint loan where another lender contributes part of the money as a first mortgage, and USDA Rural Development con- tributes the balance of fun a second mortgage. For more information on the programs offered by USDA Rural Development, contact the Wyoming Local Office at (570) 836-4157, ext. 4, or visit the website at www.rurdev.usda.gov/pa.

Newest Wyoming County The newest Habitat for Hu- manity house in Wyoming County has begun to take shape in Mehoopany. More than a dozen volunteers, rang- ing in age from 14 to more than 60, installied floor joists, lay floorboards, and built walls. The home, located on School- house Hill Road, is the fifth Habitat home to be built in Wyoming County. Among the workers were the . future Habitat homeowners, who must contribute 400 hours of their own labor, or “sweat equity,” on the construction of their home as part of a partner- ship agreement with Habitat. The second phase of their part- nership will begin after they move in, when they will begin making payments on a special 0 percent interest mortgage of- fered by Habitat. Longtime Habitat volunteer Dave Ragnacci of Tunkhannock brought his son, Chris, 14, to the worksite to try his hand at some carpentry work. “I asked my son to join me because I ‘Habitat-home is going up look for opportunities to do things together that we both enjoy and that offer life lessons — in this case, the feeling, helping of others, the sense accomplishment, and the wir feelings of hunger and tired- ness after a day of hard work,” said Ragnacci.
