What the agency says
On October 25, 2024, Rural Development's Multifamily Housing (MFH or Agency), an Agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), published a final rule. The final rule amended the current regulation for the Off-Farm Labor Housing (Off-FLH) program to clarify the grant agreement term and adopted the period of performance as required by Federal award information requirements. The changes clarified for applicants and grantees their obligations and requirements as Federal award recipients. The effective date set out in the preamble of the final rule was October 25, 2024 (the date the final rule published in the Federal Register). The effective date should have been November 25, 2024 (30 days after the final rule published in the Federal Register).
