Multifamily Housing Nonprofit Transfer Technical Assistance Grants
By
Mike Helman

Multifamily Housing assists rural property owners through loans, loan guarantees, and grants that enable owners to develop and rehabilitate properties for low-income, elderly, and disabled individuals and families as well as domestic farm laborers.
Multifamily Housing works with the owners of its direct and farm labor housing loan properties to subsidize rents for low-income tenants who cannot afford to pay their full rent. Additionally, when a direct loan ends before its initial term, Multifamily Housing provides vouchers to protect eligible tenants who otherwise may face hardship if they cannot find other affordable housing.
Multifamily Housing utilizes a variety of tools to revitalize and preserve the physical and financial health of more than 14,000 properties currently in USDA’s rural rental portfolio. For example, restructuring loans for existing rural rental housing and off-farm labor housing properties allows them to maintain sufficient reserve funds to make necessary major repairs and improvements throughout the lifetime of these properties.
What does this program do?
USDA Rural Development awards grants to eligible nonprofit organizations and public housing authorities (PHAs) to provide technical assistance (TA) and other services to enable affordable housing preservation through the transfer of Multifamily Housing Direct Loan properties from current owners to nonprofits or PHAs.
