Voucher Funding for Nov. and Dec. of 2025 Confirmed

By: Tushar Gurjal, Senior Policy Manager

October 8, 2025 — Earlier today, HUD confirmed that funding for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program will be obligated for both November and December. NAHRO interprets this to include both Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) and administrative fees. The funding should be obligated later this month, meaning that it should be available to housing agencies–as it usually is–at the beginning of the upcoming months. Additionally, HUD will continue to process shortfall funding consistent with its shutdown contingency plan.

Previously, HUD had publicly stated that if a shutdown were to occur, it would obligate the first two weeks of November funding for the HCV program, but remained silent on the rest of November. NAHRO is pleased that there is confirmation for funding beyond this point should a shutdown continue.

Much of the information related to the functioning of the HCV program during a shutdown can be found on pages 13-14 and 59-60 of the shutdown contingency plan. The Department’s 2025 shutdown contingency plan can be found here.

As NAHRO learns new information related to the 2025 shutdown it will post it on “NAHRO’s 2025 Government Shutdown Resources” page located here.
