FARM Home Loans Act of 2026

This bill would change the rules for rural home loans made under the Farm Credit Act of 1971. It would add accessory dwelling units, such as a second small home on the same property, to the housing-related structures these loans can cover. It would also raise the population limit for areas that qualify as rural for these loans from 2,500 residents to 10,000 residents.
