What it does
The FARM Home Loans Act of 2026 would amend the Farm Credit Act of 1971 to expand rural housing financing options by allowing accessory dwelling units to be included as part of eligible rural home properties and increasing the maximum loan limit for rural housing from $2,500 to $10,000. The bill affects rural homebuyers and lenders participating in the Farm Credit System by broadening the definition of eligible housing and raising the financing cap. These changes aim to improve access to affordable home financing in rural markets by accommodating additional living units and supporting higher loan amounts.
