FY2027 appropriations

Appropriations Watch

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act authorizes programs. It does not pay for them. This page tracks, line by line, whether anything in the Act has money — and what the October 1 funding deadline does to programs that have not started.

Section 1202 · Why this page exists

An authorization is permission, not money

The Act authorizes programs; it does not pay for them. Sec. 1202 says no additional funds are authorized to be appropriated to carry out the Act, and even Sec. 208(e)’s $200 million a year is permission rather than money. Every new program in P.L. 119-101 therefore depends on the annual Transportation-HUD appropriations process — and as of August 29, 2026 that process has produced nothing for any of them.

Where the FY2027 process stands

as of August 29, 2026

The single most important thing to understand about FY2027 is a matter of dates, not politics. The ROAD to Housing Act became law on July 11, 2026. The President’s budget request was submitted April 3, 2026. The House FY2027 THUD bill was approved in full committee June 3, 2026 and reported June 5, 2026. Every FY2027 funding document that currently exists was written before the Act existed. There is no appropriations vehicle anywhere in the system that has yet had the opportunity to fund the Act’s new programs — which is a different thing from Congress having considered and rejected them.

In the House, FY2027 THUD is H.R. 9170, reported June 5, 2026 as H. Rept. 119-686 and placed on the Union Calendar. It has had no floor vote. The bill carries $92.224 billion in total discretionary budget authority for the whole Transportation-HUD bill, of which roughly $80.1 billion is HUD gross discretionary. A full-text search of its report returns zero hits for “ROAD to Housing,” “Innovation Fund,” “Whole-Home,” “temperature sensor,” “pattern book,” “6644” and “119-101.”

In the Senate there is nothing to describe. No FY2027 THUD bill, no subcommittee or full-committee markup, no 302(b) suballocation for any of the twelve bills, and no agreed 302(a) topline. The committee is deadlocked over the defense / non-defense split, with Democrats separately objecting that pocket rescissions and withheld funds make negotiated numbers unenforceable. This matters more than it might look: the Senate is the chamber where the Act originated, and Senate Appropriations is the committee most likely to write an Innovation Fund line. It has not written a bill.

So the realistic earliest date for any money is a full-year FY2027 THUD act that post-dates whichever continuing resolution is enacted — not before December 2026, and only if the Senate produces a bill and a conference or omnibus adds a line that exists in no current vehicle today.

President’s FY2027 budget request
Submitted
Submitted April 3, 2026. Requests $73.5 billion in HUD gross discretionary budget authority against $84.2 billion in FY2026, a cut of $10.7 billion (13 percent); $62 billion net. Eliminates CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, Self-Sufficiency Programs, Housing Counseling, Choice Neighborhoods and the Native Hawaiian block grant, while raising Tenant-Based Rental Assistance and the Public Housing Fund.
For the Act: Names no ROAD to Housing Act program — and could not have, being submitted 99 days before enactment. No post-enactment budget amendment or supplemental has been identified.

What happens on October 1, 2026

Two continuing resolutions are live and neither is law. The House passed H.R. 9770 on July 21, 2026 by 220–205, running through December 4, 2026, with no HUD anomalies. The Senate declined to take it up; it instead struck a different House-passed shell, H.R. 6500, and inserted the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027, running through December 11, 2026 and carrying four HUD anomalies — passing it 90–6 on August 8, 2026. The message went to the House on August 10. The House returns August 31 and has scheduled a vote on the Senate CR for September 1, 2026 under suspension of the rules — a two-thirds threshold, with no amendments allowed. The Senate does not return until September 14, leaving little room to change the bill before the September 30 deadline. OMB’s August 3 Statement of Administration Policy supports the Senate version.

“no appropriation or funds made available or authority granted pursuant to section 101 shall be used to initiate or resume any project or activity for which appropriations, funds, or other authority were not available during fiscal year 2026”
— Sec. 104, Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027 (identical in both pending CRs)

That clause decides the Act’s near-term fate on its own. Every program in P.L. 119-101 is an activity for which no appropriation, funds, or other authority was available during FY2026, which makes each of them a new start. Under either continuing resolution, none of them can begin — no matter what the statute authorizes.

Scenarios for the start of FY2027 and their effect on the Act’s programs and on baseline HUD accounts
Scenario	Signal	The Act’s programs	Baseline HUD accounts
The Senate CR is enacted and runs to December 11, 2026	Most likely. It passed the Senate 90–6, OMB supports it, and the House has four session weeks after August 31.	Nothing. Sec. 104 forbids initiating any of them.	FY2026 rates — HOME $1.25 billion, CDBG formula $3.3 billion, PRICE $0, TBRA $38.44 billion — plus emergency housing voucher renewal, the voucher-shortfall backstop, the homeless and fair-housing balance extensions, and the Flex Sub payoff authority.
The House CR prevails and runs to December 4, 2026	Possible if the House insists on its own vehicle rather than concurring.	Nothing. The same Sec. 104 bar.	FY2026 rates with no HUD anomalies — no voucher fix, no balance extensions, no Flex Sub authority.
No CR by September 30 and appropriations lapse	Low. Both chambers have passed a CR of some form and OMB opposes a shutdown.	Nothing.	Lapse.
A full-year FY2027 THUD act is enacted, December 2026 or later	The only path to any ROAD money. Requires the Senate to produce a bill first.	The only opportunity for a Sec. 208, 207, 202, 210 or 304 line to be written. No such line exists in any current work product.	Negotiated between the House position ($80.1 billion HUD gross, HOME $500 million) and a Senate position that does not yet exist.
A full-year continuing resolution	A live possibility given the Senate deadlock.	Nothing, for the whole of FY2027.	FY2026 rates all year — which is better for HOME ($1.25 billion rather than $500 million) and for CDBG than the House bill would be.

The uncomfortable point: a long or full-year continuing resolution is simultaneously the best near-term outcome for the baseline accounts — it holds HOME at $1.25 billion and blocks the House’s $750 million cut — and the worst outcome for the Act, because Sec. 104 forbids every new start. The two constituencies are pulling in opposite directions.

How to read the table

Each cell says what kind of number it is. Nothing on this page presents a proposal as enacted, and where a figure does not exist the cell prints an em dash and the reason rather than a zero — a document that has not been written is not the same as a document that says nothing.

EnactedA figure in a signed appropriations law. Real money.
Passed one chamberApproved by a full chamber and still not law. No FY2027 THUD figure carries this status today — the House bill has never had a floor vote. The two continuing resolutions have each passed one chamber; neither is enacted.
ProposedA budget request or a committee-reported bill. A proposal, not an appropriation.
Not fundedThe document exists and carries nothing for this program. A verified zero, confirmed by searching the document itself — not a gap in our research.
UnknownThe document does not exist yet, or the figure is not published in the source this row uses. Shown as an em dash with the reason — never as a zero.
Did not existThe program or account did not exist in that fiscal year, so there is no figure to print.

Public housing — capital formula (sub-line)	— no figureUnknownNot separately stated in the report’s FY2026 comparison column — see the operating-formula row.	— no figureUnknownThe report presents the request for this account only as a total.	$2,286,257,000ProposedCommittee-reported bill, no floor action.	— no figureUnknown	— no figureUnknown	The account most directly in tension with the Act’s Sec. 212 RAD cap increase, which raises the conversion ceiling from 455,000 to 555,000 units without adding capital dollars.H.

HOME Investment Partnerships	$1,250,000,000Enacted	$0ProposedThe request proposed eliminating HOME outright — a 100 percent cut.	$500,000,000ProposedA $750,000,000 cut against FY2026. Committee-reported, no floor action.	— no figureUnknown	— no figureUnknown	The account the Act leans on hardest. Sec. 501 reauthorizes HOME but attaches no dollar figure, and Sec. 1001 sends institutional-investor penalties to HOME only “to the extent and in the amounts provided in advance in appropriations Acts.” A full-year CR would hold HOME at $1.25 billion — better for this account than the House bill.H. Rept. 119-686 — FY2027 THUD bill report (govinfo) (opens in a new tab)
Community Development Fund (CDBG formula plus earmarks)	$6,995,244,000Enacted	$0ProposedThe request proposed eliminating the account outright.	$5,849,707,616ProposedCDBG formula $3,300,000,000 (flat against FY2026); SUPPORT Act Sec. 8071 activities $30,000,000; economic development initiative / community project funding $2,519,707,616.	— no figureUnknown	— no figureUnknown	Sec. 204 of the Act lets a recipient spend up to 20 percent of its CDBG allocation on new construction of affordable housing — but only from funds appropriated after July 11, 2026, which is why the timing of the FY2027 bill matters here and not just the amount. Quoting the $3.3 billion formula alone understates the account by more than $2.5 billion.H. Rept. 119-686 — FY2027 THUD bill report (govinfo) (opens in a new tab)
Homeless Assistance Grants	$4,417,000,000Enacted	$4,024,000,000ProposedThe request also proposed consolidating homeless programs into an expanded Emergency Solutions Grant and eliminating the Continuum of Care.	$4,160,741,000ProposedA $256,259,000 cut against FY2026. Committee-reported, no floor action.	— no figureUnknown	— no figureUnknown	Sec. 503 of the Act waives the Emergency Solutions Grant cap for FY2027–FY2030 allocations, so this account is where that waiver takes effect. The Senate CR’s Sec. 154 rescinds remaining unobligated balances from P.L. 118-42 and re-appropriates an equivalent amount for the same purposes through September 30, 2027.H. Rept. 119-686 — FY2027 THUD bill report (govinfo) (opens in a new tab)
Housing for the Elderly (Section 202)	$1,031,000,000Enacted	$959,000,000ProposedA request, submitted April 3, 2026. Not a bill.	$1,061,930,000ProposedA $30,930,000 increase against FY2026. Committee-reported, no floor action.	— no figureUnknown	— no figureUnknown	Not a program the Act creates. It is here because a full-year continuing resolution and the House bill point in opposite directions for it — the CR would hold it at $1.031 billion while the House bill would raise it.H.

Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811)	$287,000,000Enacted	$266,000,000ProposedA request, submitted April 3, 2026. Not a bill.	$295,610,000ProposedAn $8,610,000 increase against FY2026. Committee-reported, no floor action.	— no figureUnknown	— no figureUnknown	Not a program the Act creates. Included as one of the baseline accounts a full-year CR would freeze at the FY2026 rate.H.

All figures are whole U.S. dollars of budget authority for the fiscal year named. FY2026 enacted and FY2027 House figures are transcribed from H. Rept. 119-686’s own comparison tables, which is the bill’s own baseline; the President’s request is shown in the same report’s appropriations-comparable column. Do not subtract these against the HUD congressional-justification presentation used in CRS R48927 — it excludes emergency-designated disaster-recovery spending and reports slightly different FY2026 totals for the same accounts. The FY2027 enacted column is empty on purpose: as of August 29, 2026 there is no FY2027 appropriations law of any kind.

Dates to watch

Aug 31, 2026House returns from recessIt must dispose of the Senate amendment to H.R. 6500 or force a conference with its own CR.
Sep 1, 2026House votes on the Senate CRH.R. 6500 is scheduled under suspension of the rules — a two-thirds threshold, no amendments. Passage would send the CR to the President and hold FY2027’s opening months at FY2026 rates through December 11.
Sep 14, 2026Comments close on HUD’s CDBG-DR formula noticeFR-6337-N-02, the first Federal Register action citing Sec. 504. Relevant to whether the Long-Term Disaster Recovery Fund is ever capitalized.
Sep 30, 2026FY2026 ends — the shutdown deadlineAbsent a CR or full-year bills, appropriations lapse.
Oct 1, 2026FY2027 beginsSec. 208’s FY2027–FY2031 authorization window opens with nothing appropriated, as does Sec. 210’s pilot period. Sec. 503’s ESG cap waiver applies to FY2027 allocations. Sec. 1001 penalty transfers to HOME become available to the extent appropriations Acts provide.
Dec 4, 2026House CR would expireIf H.R. 9770 is the vehicle that is enacted.
Dec 11, 2026Senate CR would expireIf H.R. 6500 is the vehicle that is enacted. This is the first realistic date at which a full-year FY2027 THUD act could carry a ROAD to Housing Act line item.

What we could not pin down

Each of these was checked against a primary source on August 29, 2026 and not found. They are listed rather than guessed at.

Whether the September 1, 2026 suspension vote on the Senate CR clears the two-thirds threshold in the House. The Speaker has signaled support, but some House conservatives object to the December 11 date and the bill’s OMB grant-rule rider — and with the Senate out until September 14, a failed vote leaves little room before September 30.
Any Senate FY2027 THUD markup date, even tentative, and any Senate 302(a) topline or 302(b) suballocation.
Whether Senate appropriators intend to write a ROAD to Housing Act line at all. No public statement from the chair, the vice chair, or the THUD subcommittee connecting P.L. 119-101 to the FY2027 bill has been located.
Any post-enactment OMB budget amendment or supplemental requesting funding for a program the Act created. Checked against the Federal Register API and the August 3 Statement of Administration Policy; none found.
Whether budget authority provided by a continuing resolution counts as “appropriated after the date of enactment” for Sec. 204 (CDBG new construction) and Sec. 304 (PRICE). HUD has issued no guidance.
Whether HUD can stand up 35-plus new programs and requirements at all if they are funded. The Act carries no money for staffing and operations, the House bill includes no implementation set-aside, and HUD staffing was already cut sharply in FY2026.
HUD’s own estimate of what implementing the Act costs. No post-enactment budget document has been located.
