| Program Name | $ Change from 2025 Enacted (in millions) | Brief Description of Program and Recommended Reduction or Increase |
| Increases | ||
| Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Operations | +359 | The Budget requests an increased amount of $13.8 billion. This funding level would support air traffic controller hiring and salary increases, as well as FAA’s ongoing updates to its outdated telecommunications systems. |
| FAA Facility and Radar Upgrades | +824 | The Budget delivers an $5 billion investment in the modernization of the systems and facilities that comprise U.S. National Airspace System (NAS). In addition to a previously-provided $1 billion advance appropriation, the Budget requests an additional $4 billion for NAS upgrades including a $450 million down-payment on a multiyear, multi-billion-dollar radar replacement program. A substantial amount will also be requested as mandatory funding through reconciliation. |

| State Rental Assistance Block Grant (Tenant-Based Rental Assistance, Public Housing, Project-Based Rental Assistance, Housing for the Elderly, and Housing for Persons with Disabilities) | -26,718 | The Budget transforms the current Federal rental assistance into a State-based formula grant. The Budget would also newly institute a two-year cap on rental assistance for able bodied adults. A State-based formula program would also lead to significant terminations of Federal regulations. The Budget includes $25 million in housing grants for youth aging out of foster care. |
| Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) | -3,300 | The Budget proposes to eliminate the CDBG program, which provides formula grants to over 1,200 State and local governments for a wide range of community and economic development activities. |

| Department of Energy | ||
| Cuts, Reductions, and Consolidations | ||
| IIJA Cancellation | -15,247 | The Budget cancels over $15 billion in funds committed to build renewable energy, removing carbon dioxide from the air, and other technologies.
