Rural housing preservation grants

Habitat For Humanity Of Tuolumne County Inc. received a Rural Housing Preservation Grants award of $119,487 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Housing Service under CFDA 10.433, with an award date of July 29, 2026 and completion deadline of August 29, 2027. The organization delivers housing repair and rehabilitation services to very low- and low-income residents in rural Tuolumne County, California. Eligible activities include structural repairs, accessibility modifications, and rehabilitation of single-family and multi-unit rental properties, benefiting individual homeowners, rental property owners, and housing cooperatives.

The Rural Housing Service Single Family Housing Program prioritizes applications serving non-metropolitan areas with populations below 10,000 and requires grantees to limit administrative costs to less than 20 percent of grant funds while demonstrating prior experience in housing rehabilitation and assistance to eligible low-income households. Habitat For Humanity has demonstrated sustained capacity through four consecutive annual awards totaling $880,000 since October 2023, positioning the organization as an established provider of housing preservation services addressing substandard housing conditions in economically disadvantaged rural communities.
