Operating Assistance for Off-Farm Migrant Farmworker Projects

The Rural Housing Service (RHS), formerly Rural Housing and Community Development Service (RHCDS), a successor Agency to the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), proposes to amend its regulations for the Farm Labor Housing (LH) program for off-farm migrant housing projects. This action is taken to implement section 599C(e) of Pub. L. 105-276, enacted October 21, 1998, which amends the Housing Act of 1949 to permit section 521 rental assistance funds to be used as operating assistance in migrant farmworker projects financed under sections 514 or 516. The intended result is to reduce operating costs so that rents may be set at rates that are affordable to low-income migrant farmworkers.
