On Dec. 18, President Obama signed the FY 2016 omnibus spending bill into law. The bill covered all 12 appropriations bills, including funding for Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies (THUD). The Senate adopted the bill by a vote of 65-33; the House did so by a 316-113 tally.
After being threatened with near elimination in the Senate Committee’s THUD bill and with a $133 million cut in the House bill, HOME was funded at $950 million in the omnibus, a $50 million increase from FY 2015.
