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.

Native American Programs and Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant -479 The Budget eliminates competitive grant programs for Native American housing and eliminates the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant.

The Budget also eliminates the National Fair Housing Training Academy, which provides training for Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) and FHIP professionals as well as funding to translate HUD materials to languages other than English. The Budget, however, maintains support for FHAP, which funds State and local enforcement agencies that collectively process about 80 percent of the Nation’s fair housing complaints under the Fair Housing Act.
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. The Budget also ends programs for electric vehicle and battery makers and cancels the Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act.
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) -2,572 The Budget reorients EERE programs to early-stage research and development programming, eliminating funding for Justice40. This proposal would support technologies that promote fossil-fuel and nuclear power and bioenergy.
Office of Science -1,148 The Budget reduces funding for climate change and renewable energy research. The Budget maintains priority areas such as high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, quantum information science, fusion, and critical minerals.
