The House Appropriations Committee approved the Fiscal Year 2027 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies (T-HUD) Appropriations Act on June 3 in a marathon session by a vote of 34 to 27, divided along party lines.
Go Deeper: The committee approved five minor amendments to the bill, but failed to pass an amendment proposed by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) to keep HOME and Neighborworks funding levels from FY 2026 at $1.25 billion and $158 million, respectively.
What They’re Saying: Democrats criticized proposed cuts to HUD funding, with T-HUD Subcommittee Ranking Member James Clyburn (D-SC) panning the bill in a statement:
“The bill before us falls short of the American people’s needs, and once again, fails to meet this country’s growing housing shortage, most especially in the area of homelessness, and our aging populace. We have yet to realize the full potential of resources approved by this Committee on a bipartisan basis. The current state of accessibility and affordability in America require us to take stock of our national priorities, and this appropriations bill fails to meet the moment.”
What’s Included: This version of the FY2027 T-HUD bill has no HUD-related funding changes from the bill that passed out of subcommittee two weeks ago. See our full coverage of the bill here.
What’s Next: This bill now moves to the full House for consideration. The Senate still has yet to release their bill or schedule for markups.
