On Feb. 13, President Obama submitted to Congress a $3.8 trillion budget request for fiscal year (FY) 2013; $44.8 billion is requested to fund the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The amount requested for HUD represents a 3.2 percent increase compared to the enacted FY 2012 HUD appropriations. The President’s FY 2013 request assumes $500 million in savings through reforms to HUD rental assistance programs including an increased minimum rent for tenants receiving rental assistance, reducing required inspections of certain HUD assisted properties and mandating that Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) set flat minimum rents that reflect the local market. The budget request also assumes an increase in Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Ginnie Mae (GNMA) receipts from $5.8 billion in FY 2012 to $9.4 billion in FY 2013.

Below are the requested FY 2013 funding levels for select HUD programs, as compared to FY 2011 and FY 2012 enacted appropriations. For more information, read the Enterprise Budget Memo and view the updated Enterprise Budget Chart.
