CSH Funding Priorities in the President’s FY15 Budget

President Obama proposed a $3.901 trillion budget that would fund government programs in FY2015. The proposal includes overall funding for HUD at $46.6 billion which is an increase of over $1 billion from the FY2014 enacted level. Specifically, the budget increases funding for the Housing Choice Voucher program, Homelessness Assistance grants and Section 811 program. In addition, the budget provides increased funding for services that many vulnerable low-income populations rely on. The President, adhering to provisions of the Affordable Care Act, also included an additional $966 million for Community Health Centers which translates to an $84 million possible increase for Health Care for the Homeless Clinics.

The President’s budget is the first step in the budget process. In order for these funding increases for HUD to take effect, Congress will need to take action, beginning with assigning each appropriations subcommittee their budget allocation number. Below you will find information explaining this process and how to support an effort to increase the budget allocation for the T-HUD appropriations subcommittee for FY2015.

The chart below outlines the President's proposed funding levels for CSH's policy priority programs.  You can download a copy of the chart here.
