House Releases Text of FY25 T-HUD Funding Bill  

The House of Representatives has released its draft Fiscal Year (FY) 25 Transportation-HUD appropriations bill which proposes slight cuts to several programs. NAHRO believes that appropriators should reject funding cuts to HUD programs and prioritize full funding of all accounts. NAHRO’s FY 25 funding recommendations can be found here.  

The House Transportation-HUD Subcommittee will review and vote on the bill tomorrow, Thursday, June 27. The full House Appropriations Committee is scheduled to vote on the bill on Wednesday, July 10 which, if passed, would advance to a vote on the House floor later this summer. The Senate is expected to advance its version of an FY 25 Transportation-HUD bill before the August recess.
