Rural Development Multi-Family Housing Rural Housing Voucher Program

Department Of Agriculture, Rural Housing Service

The Rural Housing Voucher Demonstration program is designed to provide rental housing assistance vouchers to tenants in properties that pay off their Rural Development mortgage. The amount of this subsidy is the difference between the comparable market rent and the amount of rent being paid by the tenant when pay off occurs. Pay off properties may be located anywhere in the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam.

Jargon-free version

Helps tenants in rural apartment buildings cover their rent when their building's loan is paid off. They can use vouchers for rent at other approved homes too.

What Is This Program?

Tenants that live in Multifamily Direct Loan properties at the time final payment is made. The voucher can be used to supplement their rental payments at the former Multifamily Direct Loan property, or at any non-subsidized rental unit in the United States that meets Rural Developmentโ€™s housing quality standards (provided the non-subsidized property agrees to accept the voucher).
