The FY22 budget provides vital HUD programs with $53.7 billion, a $4 billion increase over the previous fiscal year. Just two weeks after signing the spending bill into law, President Biden released his budget request for FY23, which proposes an additional $6.2 billion for HUD’s affordable housing and community development programs. Panelists at the webinar will discuss the implications of the FY22 budget, opportunities to increase funding for affordable housing and community development programs in FY23, and ideas about how advocates can make their voices heard.

Dara Baldwin, director of national policy at the Center for Disability Rights and member of the NLi, will moderate the event. Speakers will include:

  • Kim Johnson, National Low Income Housing Coalition
  • Sid Betancourt, National Low Income Housing Coalition
  • Sonya Acosta, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
  • Samantha Booth, Housing Assistance Council
  • Linda Couch, LeadingAge
  • Michael Santos, RESULTS
  • Jorge Soto, National Fair Housing Alliance
  • Alayna Waldrum, American Association of Service Coordinators
