HUD’s stated goal in doing this reevalution is to identify instances of waste, fraud, and mismanagement that could prevent HUD from meeting its program objectives, and to make changes as needed to related handbook guidance and forms used.
President Trump's request, which Congress will consider as it sees fit, asks for a $9.6 billion, or 16.4%, cut to HUD compared to the FY19 HUD funding.
The request would cut funding for the Section 202 account by $34 million, or 5%, from the FY19-enacted level of $678 million.
What the Administration released on March 11were its “top line” requests. The Administration will release the full details of its FY20 request during the week of March 18. In these forthcoming details, we will learn much more about the request and how it would impact older adult households.
The White House is expected to provide Congress with a “top line” of its FY20 budget requests the week of March 11. Here, the President’s general budget message, his top priorities, and summary tables will be released.
HUD is working to expedite availability of at least some funding to Service Coordinator grantees who have not been paid since December (and some much longer). And LeadingAge is continuing to advocate for prioritized attention to the program in post-shutdown weeks, and its inclusion as an excepted activity in revisions to any future HUD shutdown contingency plan.
The partial federal government shutdown ended on January 25, after 35 days of disrupting HUD’s ability to obligate funds to rental assistance contracts and paralyzing other HUD functions.
As the partial Federal government shutdown extends into its 4th week with uncertainty over when normal HUD operations will resume, an estimated 1175 project-based rental assistance (PBRA) contracts with December 2018 and January 2019 expiration dates will not be able to be renewed until after the shutdown, with Section 202/811 PRAC projects comprising the majority of impacted contracts. While some funding may be available to help the Section 8 and 811 properties for at least through January, already 440 Section 202 PRAC contracts
With HUD and its funding shutdown effective December 21, 2018, HUD was not able to renew 650 contracts for its multifamily housing partners in December. Of these 650 communities with expired contracts, MSNBC spent much of the day on January 14, 2019, broadcasting live from San Jose Manor, a LeadingAge member in Jacksonville, FL with about 100 residents.
Here’s an overview of our work for you in December 2018.
“Let’s talk about it” has been LeadingAge’s primary message to consumers, policy makers, and members during June 2018. We’ve asked millennials to “Carry the Conversation” by becoming the voice of long-term services and supports (LTSS). We’ve been talking with policy makers about a variety of issues that matter to older Americans. And we’ve provided resources that member organizations can use to frame their internal conversations about important decisions.
