Marcia L. Fudge, Secretary, Department of Housing and Urban
Development
The 2023 President’s
Budget
requests $71.9 billion for the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), approximately $11.6 billion more than the 2022
annualized continuing resolution (CR) level, to support underserved
communities and equitable community development, increase access to and
production of affordable housing, promote homeownership and
wealth-building, advance sustainable communities, climate resilience,
and environmental justice, and strengthen
HUD’s internal capacity.
The budget includes:
$1.1 billion in targeted climate resilience and energy efficiency
improvements in public housing, tribal housing, and other assisted
housing;
$400 million to remove dangerous health hazards from homes, including
mitigating threats from fire, lead, carbon monoxide, and radon
The President’s 2023 Budget supports authorizing the Community
Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program. For more
than twenty years, the Congress has appropriated emergency
supplemental funds to HUD in response to
major disasters to address the unmet long term disaster recovery needs
of States, territories, local governments, and Tribes. Authorization
would improve the transparency and predictability of
CDBG-DR funds for impacted communities.
