Issue Date: March 04, 2020
On March 4, NAR sent a letter to Chair Peterson and Ranking Member Conaway of the House Agriculture Committee. The letter expresses NAR's support for the programs of the Rural Housing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture which provide services to rural communities. The Rural Housing Service (RHS) provides opportunities for homeownership for thousands of rural families nationwide. The 502 loan guarantee program provides critical access to housing for low-income rural families. Furthermore, NAR supports a comprehensive national policy to stimulate the deployment of broadband in underserved areas of the U.S., increase data speeds and lower broadband prices. Communities prosper when they gain access to high-speed Internet.
