That may sound positive, but according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the voucher program would need an estimated $4.3 billion increase just to maintain the same levels of service, because of the rising cost of living and increase in rental burdens across the US. The Senate approved a $2.9 billion increase in the program last year, when the chamber was in Democratic control. It’s an improvement — but still a net loss in vouchers, with 62,000 fewer households receiving assistance. Complicating the budget battles underway is the prospect of a government shutdown if the two parts of Congress can’t agree on a plan, which many see as likely. It’s not certain how these different funding levels will be resolved in a bill to keep the government open that needs to pass by March 14. There’s also a proposal under discussion to pass a one-year continuing resolution and maintain current stopgap funding levels — which would mean even less funding than the House budget. “There’s a very realistic possibility of a shortfall,” said National Low Income Housing Coalition public policy manager Kim Johnson. She said she’s been discussing potential cuts with staff and congressional leaders, without any breakthroughs. Historically, the budget process ends with 100% of the needed funding for housing vouchers, said Georgi Banna, general counsel for the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO), a membership organization for affordable housing providers. Advocacy groups and HUD send lawmakers updated stats and numbers suggesting how much additional funding needs to be added to the previous year’s budget. If the House budget gets approved, that would just meet 90% of the need, and an estimated 283,000 households would eventually lose voucher access, according to CBPP. In a statement, the progressive think tank called that the “most severe funding shortfall in the history of the voucher program.”
