The Campaign for Housing and Community Development Funding (CHCDF) will host a webinar on Wednesday, June 12, from 2 to 3 pm ET. The webinar will focus on HUD’s final fiscal year (FY) 2024 spending bill and the outlook for HUD and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) affordable housing funding in FY25.
The caps imposed by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA) limit spending increases to just 1% in FY24 and FY25. Despite the caps and lower receipts from the Federal Housing Administration, which help offset the cost of HUD’s programs, HUD received an overall funding increase of $8.3 billion in FY24. However, funding for many individual HUD programs was cut from FY23 levels. With appropriators at work on their FY25 proposals – and still operating under the constraints of the FRA – advocates must continue pushing for increased funding for HUD’s and USDA’s crucial affordable housing, homelessness, and community development programs in the coming fiscal year.
Join CHCDF to learn about the successes and challenges involved with the final FY24 budget and the outlook for HUD and USDA affordable housing funding in FY25. Speakers on the webinar will include:
