CARH’S BROADCAST E-MAIL – Regulatory Alert

December 15, 2025

Rural Development issued a Stakeholder Announcement on Dec. 15 entitled, Rural Housing Service – Management Interactive Network Connection (MINC) Technical Issues – UPDATE.

The announcement states in full:

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development’s Office of Multifamily Housing (MFH) has corrected the technical issue within the MINC system which caused a disruption with the acceptance of tenant certifications and recertifications. The resolution allowed a significant number of pending certifications to process. However, manual processing will be required on a very small quantity of transactions. The manual processing requirements are a top priority and should be completed in the very near future.

Multifamily Housing continues to advise borrowers and management agents to submit information through MINC as normal.

Questions may be directed to the Servicing Office MFH Branch at RD.SO.MFH@USDA.GOV.

This update was issued based on the Stakeholder Announcement CARH sent a Broadcast Email about on December 12, 2025.
