More Housing for Forest Workers and Communities Near Forests

This new law aims to facilitate the construction and leasing of housing on lands managed by the Forest Service, addressing housing challenges for both Forest Service employees and individuals living near forests. The changes allow for longer lease terms and the construction of multi-unit dwellings, potentially increasing housing availability in these areas.
Key points
The act permits the construction of not only single dwellings but also multi-unit dwellings on Forest Service administrative sites.
Lease terms for housing development on these sites can now extend up to 100 years, with renewal options.
The provisions for Forest Service flexible housing partnerships have been extended until 2028.
