The Biden administration’s $1.6 trillion discretionary spending request for 2023 includes $71.9 billion for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), approximately $11.6 billion more than this year’s stopgap funding measure. If approved, the budget would include $35.0 billion for the Housing Supply Fund and $32.1 billion to housing vouchers to support 200,000 additional households, and homeless assistance grants would be increased by $576 million to $3.6 billion. Lawmakers will negotiate a final budget before October 1, the start of the new fiscal year.
