      "title": "The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): FY2006 Budget",
      "summary": "In February 2005, a House Appropriations Committee reorganization plan abolished the\nVeterans\nAffairs, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Independent Agencies\nSubcommittee, sending HUD to a new  Treasury, Transportation, Judiciary, Housing and Urban\nDevelopment, District of Columbia and Related Agencies  Subcommittee. A similar but not\nidentical\nchange was made in the Senate, creating the  Transportation, Treasury, HUD \nSubcommittee.\n On February 7, 2005, the Administration submitted a $29.1 billion FY2006 budget request for\nHUD, which is 9% less than was provided in FY2005. The most controversial part of the budget\nproposal would have eliminated the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program in\nHUD and transferred its purposes to the Department of Commerce, combining it with 17 other\nprograms (that had approximately $5.6 billion of appropriations in FY2005) into a new $3.7 billion\nStrengthening America's Communities Initiative (SACI) grant program. The President's budget\nproposal also included increased funding for Section 8 tenant-based rental vouchers, Homeless\nAssistance Grants, and the HOME program; decreased funding for Housing for the Disabled (Section\n811), Housing for Persons with AIDS, and Fair Housing programs; and elimination of funding for\nthe HOPE VI program.\n On June 30, 2005, the House approved an FY2006 HUD appropriations bill,  H.R. 3058 , funding HUD at more than $4 billion above the President's requested level. The bill, which\nrejected the President's SACI initiative, would fund CDBG at HUD and increase funding above the\nPresident's request for several HUD programs.\n On October 20, 2005, the Senate passed its version of  H.R. 3058 , providing for\nHUD more than $5 billion above what the President requested and more than $1 billion above what\nthe House version allocated. Like the House bill, the Senate version rejected the President's SACI\ninitiative and proposed to fund CDBG and related programs within the HUD budget, and increase\nfunding above the President's request and the House-approved level for several HUD programs,\nincluding HOPE VI and Section 811.\n On October 28, 2005, the President submitted to Congress a rescission and reallocation package\nthat would rescind $124 million in HUD funding and transfer $2.2 billion to HUD from FEMA's\ndisaster relief fund. A modified version was attached to the FY2006 Defense Appropriations law\n( P.L. 109-148 ), providing $11.9 billion for HUD. That bill also contained a 1% across-the-board\nrescission that applies to all of HUD's discretionary programs.\n On November 18, 2005, the House and Senate approved a final version of the FY2006 HUD\nappropriations bill. It does not adopt the CDBG transfer, and funds most programs between the\nHouse- and Senate-approved levels.",
