Who this affects: This bill mainly affects low-income tenants and farmworkers living in USDA-backed rural rental housing. It also affects the owners of those properties. Local housing agencies and nonprofit groups could help save homes that may otherwise become unaffordable.
Why this matters: Rural families can face higher rents or lose affordable homes when old USDA loans end. This bill would give USDA more ways to keep those properties in the affordable housing system. It could also help tenants find other assisted housing before they must move. The number of homes and tenants helped would depend on future funding and USDA's work.
