The Senate, by a vote of 68-29, and the House of Representatives, by a vote of 225-201, passed a full-year omnibus appropriations bill for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023. The $1.7 trillion bill will fund the government through September 30 and includes the following funding levels for selected HUD and USDA programs.
The bill implements a fix to the Mark-to-Market Program by allowing budget-based rent increases for operating costs or rehabilitation. The bill also notably includes $85 million in competitive Community Development Block Grants to reward state and local governments, metropolitan planning organizations and multijurisdictional entities that eliminate or reform exclusionary zoning, discriminatory land-use policies and other local barriers to increase the supply of affordable housing.
