Outlook of Federal Funding for HUD

Trump expected to release budget in MayBipartisan Budget Act of 2015 set to expire this year – sequestration returnsHUD’s project-based & tenant-based rental assistance program – 3-4% increase per year

Parity as a policySet to change – caps to be lifted for spending on defense programsCutting non-defense spending by additional 1% each year over the next 10 years

We need to educate Members of Congress about the potentially devastating impacts of cutting domestic programs & urge them to raise the spending caps & maintain parity between defense & non-defense

programsWe need to urge Congress not to short-fund PBRA, and to oppose cuts to vouchers, HOME & CDBG
