This bill, known as the Rural Recovery Act of 2025, mandates the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a new program within the rural development mission area. This program aims to provide crucial technical assistance to eligible rural communities recovering from major disasters declared by the President. The assistance will cover a broad range of disaster recovery activities, including planning, identifying solutions, and securing funding sources, specifically helping communities prepare and submit applications for federal and state assistance, address application denials, and effectively implement received funding for vital infrastructure such as telecommunications, water, housing, and energy. Technical assistance will be delivered by State offices of the rural development mission area or by contracted public bodies and private nonprofit corporations, with a focus on equitable outreach. An eligible rural community can receive support for an initial three-year period, with a possible three-year extension, and the bill authorizes $50,000,000 for each fiscal year to fund these efforts, with allocations based on affected population.
