Rural housing preservation grants

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service awarded Habitat For Humanity Lake County CA, Inc. a Rural Housing Preservation Grants (CFDA 10.433) Project Grant in the amount of $160,254 (Award Date: October 29, 2026; Ultimate Completion Date: July 29, 2027). Under this award, the organization provides housing repair and rehabilitation services to very low- and low-income rural residents in designated rural areas of California. Services include structural repairs, accessibility modifications, and housing preservation improvements targeting individual homeowners, rental property owners of single- and multi-unit properties, and consumer cooperative housing projects to address substandard housing conditions.

This award represents one of nine Rural Housing Preservation Grant awards received by the awardee since 2021, totaling $1.9 million in combined obligation. The organization operates as a prime recipient with no subcontract activity and maintains a 100 percent customer concentration in USDA Rural Housing Service programs. Administrative costs are maintained below the 20 percent threshold required by the program. The Rural Housing Preservation Grants program distributes Project Grants exclusively through the Rural Development State Director, with recent annual award volumes of approximately 90–105 grants distributed across eligible state and local governments, Indian tribal corporations, public and private nonprofit corporations, and consortia of such entities nationwide.
