Rural housing preservation grants

The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service awarded $110,000 to Wild Rivers Habitat For Humanity, Inc. on November 15, 2026, under the Rural Housing Preservation Grants program (CFDA 10.433). The recipient, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit doing business as Habitat For Humanity Restore, will deliver rural housing rehabilitation and repair services to low-income and very low-income households in non-metropolitan areas. The award carries an ultimate completion date of December 15, 2027, with place of performance in Wisconsin. The Rural Housing Preservation Grants program assists very low- and low-income rural residents by providing funding to repair or rehabilitate owner-occupied dwellings and rental properties in areas with concentrated substandard housing. Wild Rivers operates as a direct recipient on this grant and has a track record of executing prior Rural Housing Preservation Grants while maintaining administrative costs below the 20 percent threshold required by the program.
