NCSHA works with the Administration and the congressional appropriations committees to seek maximum funding for HUD and USDA programs relevant to HFAs. The appropriations webpage provides information on the Administration’s budget proposals, appropriations legislation, and related NCSHA advocacy documents.
Appropriations Process
The President typically proposes his federal budget by March 1. The House appropriations subcommittees usually begin marking up their appropriations bills in March and the House Appropriations Committee aims to complete action on all twelve appropriations bills by June 10. It is customary for the Senate to wait until the House completes their work on spending bills before they take up the bills and make their changes. Appropriations bills must be passed and reconciled by both chambers and signed by the President before the start of the next fiscal year on October 1. If the bills are not completed, the Congress may pass a continuing resolution or omnibus to continue funding all federal programs.

Yesterday evening, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, or “Super Committee,” issued a statement saying it had "come to the conclusion...that it will not be possible to make any bipartisan agreement available to the public before the Committee’s deadline." According to the Budget Control Act of 2011, which created the Committee, if the Committee fails to produce a plan achieving deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion over 10 years, automatic spending cuts, or sequestration, to achieve the same level of savings is triggered in 2013. The cuts would be divided equally between defense spending and nondefense spending, including both discretionary and mandatory, and would be spread over fiscal years 2013 through 2021. - November 18, 2011
