Victory for Rural Development

Posted on: 28th Jan, 2014 08:59 am
Late last night, House and Senate negotiators filed a final Farm Bill agreement, which includes the Rural Definition provision from the Senate bill (Section 6208). The House is scheduled to vote on the bill tomorrow. It will likely be voted on by the Senate this week, before heading to the President for his signature.
Section 6208 is a significant victory for Rural Housing organizations and advocates. The provision extends current law through the 2020 Census and increases the population threshold from 25,000 to 35,000. This will help ensure that low-income families--particularly those living in metro counties--will have access to critical USDA resources and programs. In addition, it will provide much-needed certainty to rural housing developers and organizations.

While there is no guarantee this will pass, it is definitely a step in the right direction.
This is a great news for the low income families. It will be of great help to them. However, can you provide us with a link where we can get more information in this regard? The source url that you have provided does not say anything in this regard.
