U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Overview
As of July 24, both the
House and
Senate appropriations subcommittees drafted and passed their versions of HUD’s budget. While work is still needed to iron out the differences between the two bills, a summary of each–compared to the fiscal year 2025 (FY 25) funding level and the
president’s proposed budget–can be found below.
The Senate bill provides $73.3 billion for HUD in fiscal year 2026, above the House bill’s $67.751 billion and the president’s proposed $42.765 billion. The Senate’s version includes funding for many programs that were not funded in the House bill nor the president’s request. Importantly, both subcommittees rejected the president’s bid to combine federal programs into a single state rental assistance block grant.
From here, the Senate and House will need to iron out the differences between their proposals before sending a final version to the president’s desk for signature.
Please Note
* HUD-Specific Self-Sufficiency: Self-sufficiency does NOT include programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), etc. It encompasses only HUD’s housing-specific programs.
**Community Development Block Grant: Community Development Block Grant does not include Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery dollars and would NOT impact OHCS’ Disaster Recovery and Resilience Division.
