Rural Housing Service Reform Act of 2025
The Rural Housing Service Reform Act of 2025 establishes a permanent housing preservation and revitalization program to maintain affordable multifamily housing projects financed under sections 514, 515, and 516 of the Housing Act of 1949, authorizing $200 million annually for fiscal years 2026-2030 to support loan restructuring, rental assistance renewal, and technical assistance for owners. The bill creates a $50 million annual set-aside for Native community development financial institutions to increase homeownership opportunities for Indian Tribes, Alaska Native communities, and Native Hawaiian communities. Additionally, it modifies Section 504 loans to reserve 60% for very low-income applicants and increases the loan cap from $7,500 to $15,000, while adjusting rural housing voucher processes to allow more frequent recalculation based on changing household circumstances.
