Rural Housing Service

The Rural Housing Service (RHS) is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that focuses on improving housing conditions in rural areas. It provides financial support and loans to help low- and moderate-income individuals and families buy, build, or repair homes. The RHS also supports the development of affordable rental housing in rural communities. By enhancing housing options, the service aims to promote better living standards, boost local economies, and strengthen rural communities overall.
