About this program
The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service administers the Farm Labor Housing Technical Assistance Grants program (CFDA 10.495), which funds technical assistance providers to help qualified organizations secure loans and grants for domestic and migrant farm labor housing construction, with a most recent grant opportunity posted September 18, 2024 and due November 18, 2024.
Eligible applicants include qualified private and public nonprofit agencies, broad-based nonprofit organizations, limited partnerships with nonprofit general partners, nonprofit organizations of farmworkers, Federally recognized Indian tribes, and state or local government agencies or political subdivisions. Grant agreements run three years and require compliance with 2 CFR 200.334 and 7 CFR 3560 subpart L.
Under the most recent consolidated multifamily housing solicitation (USDA-RD-HCFP-NPTA-FLHTA-2024), the program allocated $2 million in estimated funding with individual award ceilings of $250,000 and floors of $50,000. The prior consolidated solicitation posted May 10, 2023 (due July 3, 2023) allocated $1 million to the program with the same award ceiling and floor. An earlier standalone solicitation from January 20, 2022 offered $1 million in funding. Funding levels have grown modestly across the three-year window, with the 2024 opportunity representing the highest allocation to date.
The program provides Project Grants exclusively. All recent opportunities have been consolidated with the Multifamily Housing Nonprofit Transfer Technical Assistance Grants program (CFDA 10.494), which received substantially larger allocations ($4.9 million in 2024, $6.9 million in 2023) within the same funding announcements. Technical assistance activities under this program support farm labor housing development by strengthening applicant capacity to pursue Section 514 Off-Farm Labor Housing loans and Section 516 Off-Farm Labor Housing grants. Awards made by the Administrator of Rural Housing Service; applicants may request review of rejected applications through the USDA National Appeals Division.
