Section 311 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (P.L 100-242) established the Rural Rental Rehabilitation Demonstration. This initiative allowed States to allocate unutilized funds provided under the regular Rental Rehabilitation Program (RRP) to rural areas previously ineligible for the program. These rural areas were defined under Title V of the Housing Act of 1949 as towns and other jurisdictions with populations less than 10,000. Authorization for both the regular RRP and the rural Demonstration expired in 1991. The programs have since been replaced by the HOME Housing Investment Partnership Act.
