Congress on Memorial Day Recess ahead of continued fiscal negotiations
Lawmakers are in their home districts this week for the Memorial Day Recess. Congress is back in session on Tuesday with a packed agenda for the upcoming weeks, including progress on fiscal year 2019 funding bills. Senate appropriators are expected to consider HUD’s FY19 funding levels in both the Subcommittee and full Appropriations Committee next week. This week, NAHMA met with Senate Appropriations Committee staff to advocate for increased funding for HUD rental assistance programs. We were informed that the Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (THUD) funding bill will likely be similar to the FY18 funding bill, which was positive news.UP NEXT: What NAHMA is watching for next week
