NAR Letters Regarding Rural ReOrg to House and Senate Committees and committees with Jurisdiction over RHS
Issue Date: May 25, 2017
On May 25, 2017, NAR sent five letters to the House and Senate Committees and Subcommittes with jurisdiction over the Rural Housing Services. The letters express NAR’s concern with the changes proposed in the USDA Report to Congress on the entitled: “Proposed 2017 Reorganization of the Department of Agriculture to Establish an Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agriculture Affairs”. This proposal would eliminate the Under Secretary for Rural Development; a move REALTORS® believe would diminish the effectiveness of programs like the RHS.
