Forest Service Flexible Housing Partnerships Act of 2023

This bill allows the Forest Service to lease its administrative sites for long-term housing development, directly affecting residents in forest-adjacent communities and Forest Service employees facing housing challenges. It amends existing law to permit leases for multiunit housing (not just single-family dwellings) and extends lease terms up to 100 years with renewal options. The policy change enables partnerships to build housing on Forest Service land that serves local residents or supports agency operations. The bill focuses on practical housing solutions without altering agency management or funding.
