About the Campaign for Housing and
Community Development Funding
•Formed 30 years ago
•75 national organizational members
•Broad representation of housing and community development field
•CHCDF works to ensure maximum federal resources for housing and community development
• Inform, educate, advocate
• Expand and preserve
•FY16 302b letter signed by 3,020 organizations supporting highest possible THUD 302b
Sequestration-Level Budget Caps Will Force Further Deep
Cuts in Housing & Community Development Programs
• 2015 funding for federal housing and community development assistance programs is 12%
below 2010 funding due to the Budget Control Act spending caps and sequestration
• The HUD budget requires an increase of ~$3 billion in 2016 just to sustain rental assistance for
roughly 5 million families that currently receive it. This is due in part to a more than $1 billion
decline in FHA receipts in 2016
• The 2016 BCA spending cap for non-defense discretionary (NDD) programs is roughly flat
(nominally) with the 2015 spending level
• The House Committee on Appropriations has approved a 2016 THUD allocation (302(b)) that is
$1.5 billion above the 2015 level. The Committee is right to prioritize THUD for a higher
allocation. But at this level, it will be very difficult to sustain rental assistance for the current
number of families without making deep cuts in other HUD and Transportation programs

• FY16 budget request for Operating Fund: $4.6 billion, would meet 86% of HUD-determined need
