The federal government remains shutdown as lawmakers still have not reached a funding agreement. Here are some of the latest updates we have received regarding federal housing programs:
For the Housing Choice Voucher Program, HUD had originally stated that HAP and admin payments were obligated for October and half of November. HUD has updated this timeline and now says that payments will be obligated for all of November and December. These will be available at the beginning of each month. Shortfall payments are being made pursuant to HUD’s contingency plan.
For public housing operating fund payments, HUD has said that payments are obligated for October and November. Capital funds that were already appropriated should be accessible to be drawn down as well.
More information can be found at National NAHRO’s Shutdown Resource Pagehere. MassNAHRO will also maintain a resource page and update it as needed. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Cylas Martell-Crawford at cmartellcrawford@massnahro.org.
