Rural Utilities Service

The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that helps improve the quality of life in rural areas by providing funding for essential services like electricity, water, and broadband internet. Through loans and grants, RUS supports the development of infrastructure that connects rural communities to vital resources, fostering economic growth and enhancing access to essential services. Ultimately, the goal of RUS is to ensure that rural residents have the same opportunities and amenities as those in urban areas.
