      "title": "The Department of Housing and Urban Development: FY2010 Appropriations",
      "summary": "President Obama\u2019s first budget request included over $45 billion for the Department of Housing and Urban Development in FY2010. The requested funding level was roughly $4 billion more than was provided in regular annual appropriations in FY2009 by P.L. 111-8. However, it is about $9 billion less than total FY2009 funding for HUD, if the more than $13 billion in emergency economic stimulus funding provided by P.L. 111-5 is taken into account.\nThis budget request included increased funding for most HUD programs, such as the Section 8 voucher program, public housing program, housing programs for persons who are elderly or disabled, and block grant programs for states and localities. It also proposed several new initiatives focused on Administration priorities related to information technology and research capacity, energy efficiency, and distressed communities.\nOn July 23, 2009, the House passed its version of the FY2010 HUD funding bill (H.R. 3288). It included increases in funding over the President\u2019s requested level for many HUD programs. It did not fund all of the President\u2019s new initiatives, citing a need for authorizing legislation (H.Rept. 111-218). In total, the House-passed bill would have provided almost $1.6 billion (3.4%) more in new appropriations for HUD than the President requested.\nOn August 5, 2009, the Senate Appropriations Committee reported its version of H.R. 3288 (S.Rept. 111-69). Like the House-passed version, it included increases in funding for many HUD programs. It also included funding for some, but not all, of the President\u2019s new initiatives. The bill would have included about $1.2 billion less in new appropriations for HUD than the House-passed bill, but $343 million (0.7%) more than the President\u2019s request. On September 17, 2009, the bill was approved by the full Senate, with several policy-related amendments, none of which affected funding levels. \nBecause most of the annual appropriations bills were not enacted before the start of the 2010 fiscal year, Congress approved a series of short-term continuing resolutions (CR) to maintain funding for government operations. \nOn December 16, 2009, President Obama signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117) into law, funding HUD and most other government agencies for the remainder of FY2010. The act provided a higher overall funding level for HUD than requested by the President, and higher than proposed by the Senate, but lower than proposed by the House. It funded versions of several of the Obama Administration\u2019s new initiatives, including the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative and the Energy Innovation Fund.\nThis report analyzes recent trends in the HUD budget and tracks legislative action and summarizes key budget issues in the FY2010 budget process.",
