Rural Recovery Act of 2024
The Rural Recovery Act of 2024 establishes a program to provide technical assistance to rural communities (population under 20,000) affected by federally declared disasters. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will help these communities plan recovery efforts, apply for federal and state funding, and implement infrastructure projects like water systems, housing, and roads. Technical assistance is available for up to three years after a disaster, with possible extensions, and is funded at $50 million annually. Funding is allocated to states based on the population affected, using census data, without requiring state offices to apply for the funds.
