68 What Is Community Development?
69 What Is Economic Development?
70
71 Inquiring Minds Want To Know Is There A Difference? Or, are these terms used Synonymously?
72 So What Is Economic Development?
73 Economic Development creates the conditions for economic growth and improved quality of life by expanding the capacity of individuals, firms, and communities to maximize the use of their talents and skills to support innovation, lower transaction costs, and responsibly produce and trade valuable goods and services. Economic Development requires effective, collaborative institutions focused on advancing mutual gain for the public and the private sector. Economic Development is essential to ensuring our economic future.
74 So What Is Community Development?
75 Community Development is the process of building stronger communities from the ground up through community development. It empowers individuals and groups by providing them with the tools they need to change their communities in their own way. As Rural Development expands its role to positively impact both economic opportunity and quality of life in rural America, the guiding principles are: Provide leadership in the development of partnerships; Foster the development of regional approaches to economic issues; and, Assist regions and communities in developing and executing their comprehensive strategic development plans.
76 So Community Development empowers individuals and groups, and Economic Development creates the conditions for economic growth. As. Rural communities across America work to strengthen their economies, provide better quality of life for residents, and build on assets such as traditional main streets, agricultural and working lands, and natural resources. USDA s historic and extensive presence in rural America provides rich opportunities for supporting community and economic development, improving housing options, and strengthening local and regional food systems. USDA programs can help implement community plans funded by the Partnership agencies, which is particularly important in small communities that may lack the resources and capacity to put their visions and goals into practice. Communities can leverage a wide range of tools and resources to build on their assets, protect their resources, and make strategic investments that offer long-term benefits.
77 USDA Rural Development promotes economic development by supporting loans, providing grants and offering technical assistance. Additionally, through Community Economic Development initiatives such as StrikeForce and SET (Stronger Economies Together), we help communities undertake community empowerment programs. USDA Rural Development has a $208 billion portfolio of loans, loan guarantees and grants administered through our programs each Fiscal Year (October 1- September 30) We achieve our mission by helping rural individuals, communities and businesses obtain the financial and technical assistance needed to address their diverse and unique needs.
78 USDA Rural Development s financial programs support such essential public facilities and services as water and sewer systems, housing, health clinics, emergency service facilities and electric and telephone service. There are three Agencies of USDA Rural Development: 1. Rural Utility Service (RUS) Telecommunications, Electrical, Water / Waste Water and Environmental Programs 2. Rural Business Service (RBS) Business and Cooperative Programs 3. Rural Housing Service (RHS) Housing and Community Programs
79 RUS Utilities programs connect rural residents to the global economy by: Increasing access to broadband and 21st century telecommunications services; Funding sustainable renewable energy development and conservation; Financing reliable and affordable electric systems; Working to integrate smart grid technologies; and Developing rural water and wastewater systems to help address water quality. These investments support our long-term national prosperity by ensuring that rural communities have the basic infrastructure to become self-sustaining with the ability to compete in the global economy.

81 RBS Business and Cooperatives Programs Through its Business Programs, USDA Rural Development provides for business credit needs in under-served rural areas, often in partnership with private-sector lenders. We also promote the understanding and use of the cooperative form of business. We help rural residents form new cooperatives and improve the operations of existing ones.

85 RHS Housing Programs Rural Development s Single Family Housing Programs provide homeownership opportunities to low- and moderate-income rural Americans through several loan, grant, and loan guarantee programs. The programs also make funding available to individuals to finance vital improvements necessary to make their homes decent, safe, and sanitary. Homeownership Loans Families must be without adequate housing, but be able to afford the mortgage payments, including taxes and insurance. In addition, applicants must have reasonable credit histories. Loans are for 30 years, 33 in some cases. There is no required down payment.
86 RHS There are many positive economic impacts and community benefits of homeownership, such as creating local jobs for workers in a variety of sectors for professional services and trades, and homeowners continue to purchase supplies and services for their homes over many years. The benefits of homeownership also include enhanced property values, increased civic participation and added revenue for local governments. In addition, research shows that families experience greater educational achievement, improved health and reduced crime in areas where homeownership rates are higher.

90 Housing WEP Community Facilities Business/ CoOp USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a $208 Billion portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.
91 USDA StrikeForce Initiative, For Rural Growth and Opportunity The purpose for StrikeForce is to leverage USDA and partner s resources to systemically mitigate persistent poverty in StrikeForce areas. Recognizing that 90 percent of all persistent poverty counties are in rural America, USDA, through the StrikeForce Initiative, intends to create selfsustaining, long-term economic development in areas of pervasive poverty, unemployment, and general distress. StrikeForce aims to improve food security by increasing access to safe and nutritious foods. Lastly, by expanding the USDA program knowledge of USDA employees, its partners and the public, StrikeForce will effectively expand economic opportunities in these impoverished regions. StrikeForce Strategic Goals: 1. Support Economic Viability 2. Promote Food Security 3. Expand Program Education for USDA Employees, USDA Partners and Others
