For Immediate Release
April 9, 2021
 
(Washington, D.C.) April 9, 2021 – The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities welcomes the Biden administration’s continuing commitment to ensuring housing stability and ending homelessness with a 15 percent increase in HUD’s budget and a nearly 20 percent increase in the Housing Choice Voucher program, which was announced today in a preview of its Fiscal Year 2022 budget request.
 
The request would increase HUD’s budget to $68.7 billion with $30.4 billion of those funds committed to the Housing Choice Voucher program, which would expand rental assistance to 200,000 additional households. We are also pleased to see the Capital Fund increased to $3.2 billion, HOME Investment Partnerships increased to $1.9 billion, and Community Development Block Grants increased to $3.8 billion. When combined with the $40 billion dedicated to recapitalizing the public housing infrastructure in the American Jobs Plan, it is clear the Biden administration is not tinkering around the edges, but rather is investing at a scale not seen before, but absolutely necessary, to solve America’s housing crisis.
