HUD announced the FY25 Rural Capacity Building NOFO on May 18, 2026 with a July 6 deadline. Section 4 has three statutory intermediaries — Enterprise, LISC, and Habitat. RCB is a different door, and most rural housing nonprofits are misreading which one they qualify for.
Read articleOn June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.
