Rural Rental Housing Act of 2006

H.R. 5373, the Rural Rental Housing Act of 2006, proposes to expand the availability of affordable housing in rural parts of the United States by authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture to provide financial assistance for rental projects. The bill specifically prioritizes support for very low-income families and communities facing a severe shortage of affordable housing options. If enacted, the legislation would aim to reduce housing costs for rural residents and increase the supply of quality rental units in underserved agricultural and remote areas.
