This week, two House Appropriations Subcommittees set forth proposed funding levels for affordable housing and community development programs at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020. The great news for Prosperity Indiana members is that these spending bills provide a robust increase in funding to housing programs that serve low-income people and communities overall. Both represent significant increases compared to the Administration's proposed FY 2020 budget, as we outlined in an earlier blog post, found here.
To watch the Appropriations Subcommittees' coverage of these two bills, click here for the USDA budget mark up and click here for the Transportation HUD mark up. The week after next, the full Appropriations Committee will consider both of these bills and vote on amendments.
