NAHRO Releases In-Depth Analysis of Build Back Better Framework Housing Provisions
On October 28, the White House released a new Build Back Better framework that includes $150 billion for housing.
While the new framework was reduced from a total of $3.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion, NAHRO advocates helped ensure that public housing, vouchers, and community development are still in the bill. Specifically, the framework currently contains $150 billion for housing, including:
- $65 billion in public housing investments;
- $24 billion for Housing Choice Vouchers;
- $1 billion for Project-Based Rental Assistance;
- $10 billion for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program;
- $3 billion for the Community Development Block Grant Program; and
- $15 billion for the National Housing Trust Fund

NAHRO urges its members to contact their elected representatives via email and phone to voice their support for the housing provisions in this framework.
