Take Action to Support HUD Funding

(July 1, 2025) It’s time for advocates to urge Congress to support strong HUD funding for fiscal year 2026!

The White House has asked Congress to cut its funding by 43.6 percent next year; thankfully, Congress writes the HUD appropriations bill – not the White House. Use this LeadingAge action alert to support strong HUD funding and oppose cuts to housing programs for older adults.

You can also download, print, and distribute this flyer to help your residents raise their voices to help protect affordable housing.

In addition, it’s a great time to schedule on-site visits with your members of Congress and put older adults’ and providers’ concerns front and center for lawmakers. Summer congressional recesses provide an opportunity to invite your members of Congress to your community; on-site visits give lawmakers a firsthand view of the care and services you provide and an opportunity to hear directly from your residents, their families, and staff about the impact of elected officials’ decisions. Find the resources you need, including talking points and meeting tips, to help you get on their calendars now.
