    paragraph_quote: 7.1 INTRODUCTION The SFHGLP helps low- and moderate-income people
      living in rural areas purchase adequate, modest, decent, and safe homes by providing
      guarantees for qualified loans that a lender would not make without a guarantee.
      The program’s loan terms and conditions, which are described below, are designed
      to ensure that the loans are used to acquire modest homes and that the property
      will provide adequate security for the loan.
