Connecting the Dots: A Location Analysis of USDA’s Section 515 Rental Housing and Other Federally Subsidized Rental Properties in Rural Areas
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Section 515 program
provides more than 400,000 decent, affordable rental homes
for rural Americans with low incomes, but many of these
rentals are now at risk. Connecting the Dots
seeks to inform the debate on preservation of these units.
This Housing Assistance Council report examines where
Section 515 developments are located with respect to other
federally subsidized rentals and reviews their role in
their rural communities’ rental housing networks. It discusses
the policy implications of HAC’s research findings and
makes recommendations.
