Abstract: The Rural Innovation Fund (Rural Fund) is authorized pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, Public Law 111-117. Rural Fund is designed to provide support for highly targeted and innovative grants dedicated to addressing the problems of concentrated rural housing distress and community poverty for projects that demonstrate a great likelihood of substantial impact in addressing the housing needs and community poverty in the project area.

Emergency Justfication: The collection of this information is necessary because following the normal clearance procedures is resonably likely to result in public harm if normal clearance procedures are followed. Such harm will accrue to potential grant receipients under this program that are located in the most rural and impoverished areas of the United States and the lower-income residents in the service target area who are the beneficiaries of the program.
