This network comprises federal agencies and commissions that work directly with rural communities to enhance their prosperity through job creation, infrastructure development, and community improvement. Led by USDA Rural Development, members of the RPN collaborate to identify resources to help rural people build the futures they envision for the unique places they call home. RPN deploys federal staff to selected RPN Community Networks located across the United States. These RPN Liaisons collaborate with small, rural communities to understand their needs and the importance of leveraging the programs and resources of various funders and assistance providers to achieve their goals. The Liaisons provide assistance to local individuals in navigating programs, building relationships, and identifying community-driven solutions. Participating RPN agencies and offices (rural.gov/about#block-views-block-partners-partners-listing) are also joining forces to promote rural priorities as federal programs and policies are developed to address funding gaps, increase access to technical assistance and ensure equitable access to federal funding.
