A Guide to Federal Housing and Community Development Programs for Small Towns and Rural Areas© Housing Assistance Council, 2003 Permission is granted ONLY to nonprofit community-based organizations to reproduce and/or adapt this document, and only for their own use. FOOTNOTES1 The rural housing programs presently administered by the Rural Housing Service (RHS) and Rural Development offices were formerly administered by the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA). RHS was formerly the Rural Housing and Community Development Service, and Rural Development was formerly Rural Economic and Community Development. 2 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Picture of Subsidized Households: General Description of the Data and Bibliography (HUD: Washington, DC, 1998), pp. 3-5. 3 In 1994 HUD merged the planning, application, and reporting requirements for HOME, CDBG, and the formula-based HUD homeless assistance programs – Emergency Shelter Grants and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS – into the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS). Later the new "Consolidated Plan" approach replaced the CHAS, though the collection of CHAS data is still required by statute. 4 This program is not listed as a distinct program in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. These uses are mentioned, however, as a component of the Surplus Property Utilization program (CFDA 93.291).
