Show full summary
  • People in recovery: Would provide at least $50 million for the recovery housing pilot and extend the program period to cover 2026 through 2030. This supports more acquisition, rehabilitation, and construction of temporary recovery housing.
  • State grantees and providers: Would replace an accelerated 1-year spending rule with a 5-year expenditure window and allow up to 1 percent of awards to buy furniture. States must prioritize projects that offer workforce training, financial literacy, follow-up support, accreditation, or leverage additional funding.
  • Federal oversight and transparency: Would require HUD to monitor grants through its Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) and deliver an annual public report with project updates, resident statistics, best-practice strategies, and an interagency plan with HHS and USDA.
