Rural communities would get direct help to access government programs.

This bill would create a new program where the U.S. Department of Agriculture helps rural communities. It would offer expert advice and support to local governments, cooperatives, businesses, healthcare facilities, community anchor institutions, and nonprofits in underserved areas. The goal is to make it easier for these groups to get support from existing rural development programs.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific law requiring the U.S. Department of Agriculture to directly help local groups in underserved rural areas access development programs. If this bill passes, the Secretary of Agriculture would be required to provide technical assistance and strengthen local capacity in these areas. This would make it easier for them to get support.

Key Provisions

Requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide expert help to local groups in underserved rural areas.
Defines "geographically underserved and distressed areas" as rural places that are socially vulnerable, in long-term poverty, or economically struggling. It also includes rural areas lacking basic services like water, sewer, or decent housing, specifically near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to publish yearly reports on how this assistance has helped rural areas.
