Small towns and rural communities across America
are facing an acute need for more affordable housing, while also pursuing
sustainable economic development strategies that link rural housing and
transportation to job centers. HUD’s partnership with rural communities
spans from direct funding of rural competition grants to supporting the housing
needs of hundreds of thousands of families through larger programs like HOME
investment partnerships, FHA insurance for homeowners, and the Housing Choice
Voucher Program. HUD’s field offices in rural communities continue to serve as
technical assistance resources and a link to other HUD programs and other
federal agencies. Moreover, through programs like the Indian Housing Block
Grant, HUD partners with rural American Indian and Alaska Native tribal
governments to support efforts to create locally-driven solutions to economic
development challenges.
