USDA publishes comprehensive guide to rural pandemic aid

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has published a handy page with descriptions and links to federal resources for rural residents and communities affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Click here to access the guide.

The resources listed aren't just those administered by the USDA. Links are included for information, measures and programs by the Federal Communications Commission, the Small Business Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and more.

Resources are broken down by what kind of "Rural Customer" can access them (businesses, hospitals, farmers, veterans, local governments, etc.) and category: Technical assistance/training/management; Financial assistance; and General state/local resources.
