Rural housing preservation grants

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service awarded a $118,803 Rural Housing Preservation Grant (CFDA 10.433) to Alabama Rural Ministry, a woman-owned and veteran-owned non-profit organization based in Auburn, Alabama. The grant, awarded on October 26, 2025, with a completion date of July 26, 2026, will enable Alabama Rural Ministry to provide critical housing rehabilitation and repair services to very low- and low-income rural residents across the state. The organization's grant-funded activities will include home repairs, accessibility modifications, and property rehabilitation to improve living conditions for economically disadvantaged populations in rural Alabama communities. This grant award supports Alabama Rural Ministry's ongoing efforts to address substandard housing conditions and maintain affordable housing infrastructure in the state's rural areas.
