USDA Rural Development Unnumbered Letter on Management of Unused Rental Assistance

The USDA Rural Development (RD) office on May 24 published an “Unnumbered Letter” allowing state RD offices to reallocate unused rental assistance (RA) within their states without approval from the national office, reversing a policy in place since 2013 requiring state offices to return unused RA to the national office to be recaptured.
