National Action Alert: Protect and Expand FY 2024 HUD Funding!

The U.S. House of Representatives has proposed cutting funding for programs in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 to FY 2022 levels, a measure that would harm older adults and the providers who serve them by reducing or eliminating critical programs and services that support their care and quality of life.

Click here to quickly sign and send a letter to your representative urging them to support older adults in FY 2024 by voting for full and robust funding for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including:

$600 million for new capital advances and operating assistance, including Service Coordination, for approximately 6,200 new HUD Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly homes nationwide, including in rural areas;
full funding for HUD Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA), Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC), and Service Coordinator renewals;
$10 million for the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) for PRAC conversion subsidy to ensure the successful and long-term preservation of 202/PRAC homes;
$53 million in subsidy increases and loans to improve HUD multifamily housing;
$100 million for 400 new, three-year Service Coordinator grants and expanding eligibility to 202/PRAC communities; and
$31 million in additional funds for new, budget-based Service Coordinators.
