The House Republican leadership will be proposing a $100 billion reduction in a appropriations bill that would fund the federal government through the remainder of FY 2011 (Sept 30th).
With a Republican majority this bill is likely to pass the House this week. As the Senate is unlikely to pass this level of cut and the President will not sign a bill with this level, the stage is set for a March 4th showdown, when the current continuing appropriations bill expires.
A detailed list of cuts by program and agency are HERE. (HUD cuts can be found starting on page 18). Actual proposed bill is HERE.
I am sure that advocacy groups will provide more detailed information about these cuts in the coming days. In the interim, I have attempted to extract the HUD cuts from Appropriations Committee documents. While it's possible I missed one or two, the table below shows the amount of cuts I found compared to the enacted FY 2010 appropriations and FY 2011 budget proposal that the President made LAST February.
Observations
- Total HUD cuts compared to FY 2010 enacted would be at least $5.6 billion, compared to FY 2011 proposed they would be $6.1 billion.
- Compared to the FY 2011 proposed President's budget, the largest dollar cut would be for CD block grant program, a reduction of $2,880,100,000; with tenant based rental assistance slated for the second largest cut of $1,470,500,000.
- With almost half of the fiscal year complete, the impact of these cuts would be magnified, virtually doubling the number of assisted households/people and projects that would need to be cut to stay within the yearly budget.
- Note that on Monday the President will propose his FY 2012 budget, which will likely also include some cuts in HUD programs, including CDBG.That bill will be on a much slower track that the FY 2011 Continuing Appropriations bill.
