USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT HOSTING HULETT HOUSING FAIR October 18, 2006 – Sheridan, WY -- USDA Rural Development will host a Housing Fair in Hulett to promote home ownership.

According to Del Tinsley, State Director, “Affordable housing in Wyoming continues to grow as a major concern to employers and families. USDA Rural Development provides loans in rural areas to finance homes and building sites. Rural areas include open country and places with a population of 10,000 or less, and under certain conditions, towns and cities between 10,000 and 20,000 in population. The Housing Fair will provide an opportunity for citizens to discuss the options available to help them realize the American dream of homeownership.” The North East Area Office handles Sheridan, Johnson, Campbell, Crook and Weston counties.
