Proposed rule

Direct Multifamily Housing Subsequent Loans for Acquisition

Built by the Tribune's code from the Federal Register. No AI wrote this page. Published in the Federal Register July 2, 2026. Document 2026-13455. Updated Nov. 8, 2026.

What it does

The Rural Housing Service (RHS or the Agency), a Rural Development agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), proposes to amend the current regulation for the Direct Multifamily Housing (MFH) Loan and Grant Programs. The intent of this proposed rule is to include acquisition as an applicable form of assistance for direct MFH subsequent loans. This regulatory change would allow owners of MFH initially financed by the Agency to apply for Agency funds to help finance acquisition in preservation transactions, thereby reducing administrative and regulatory burden for both industry partners and the Agency.
