Longer Forest Service Land Leases (Up to 100 Years) to Boost Housing.
This law facilitates the construction of new housing, including multi-unit buildings, on or near lands managed by the Forest Service. The key change allows these land leases to extend up to 100 years, encouraging long-term investment to address housing shortages for Forest Service employees and local communities. Extending the lease term provides stability for crucial housing projects.
Key points
The maximum lease term for Forest Service administrative sites used for housing construction is extended up to 100 years, making large housing projects more feasible.
The law now explicitly allows for the construction of multi-unit dwellings (apartment buildings), not just single homes, increasing housing availability near National Forests.
The authorization for the Forest Service flexible housing partnership program is extended until 2028, ensuring the continuation of efforts to improve housing conditions.
