Rebuild Rural America Act of 2023

The Rebuild Rural America Act of 2023 establishes a new Rural Innovation and Partnership Administration within the Department of Agriculture and creates a $10 billion annual Rural Future Partnership Fund. This fund provides block grants to rural communities that form "rural partnership councils" to develop locally-driven plans addressing infrastructure, housing, health care, workforce development, and environmental resiliency. The legislation allocates funds based on population, with 3x funding for high-poverty areas (20%+ poverty rate), and requires annual reporting and evaluation of progress. The bill directly affects rural communities across the United States, particularly those with high poverty rates, by providing flexible federal investment for comprehensive community development.
