    paragraph_quote: Loans guaranteed under Rural Energy Plus provisions are for the purchase of energy-efficient
      homes. Homes that meet the most current IECC standards including existing homes that are retrofitted to those
      standards are eligible. Energy-efficient homes result in lower utility bills, conserve energy, and thus, make
      more income available for monthly debt obligations. For loans guaranteed under this subpart, the lender will
      certify that the home meets the most current IECC standards. The Handbook will define what further flexibilities
      can be extended.
