January 2010:  FY 2010 Funding Wrap-Up:

(Source:  CBPP, 23 December Memo):  On December 16, the President signed into law an omnibus funding bill for fiscal year 2010 that includes funding for affordable housing and community development programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This law provides a total of $46.1 billion for HUD for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $4.5 billion (10.9 percent) above the 2009 level and $578 million (1.3 percent) above the President’s request.

These amounts do not include the $13.7 billion for HUD programs allocated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Taken together, ARRA and the HUD funding law for 2010 clearly express, on the part of Congress and the Obama Administration, a renewed commitment to the stability and viability of affordable housing and community development programs.
