In addition to extending federal funding, the CR includes $17 billion in emergency spending primarily for Ukraine, and $19 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for disaster relief. This funding would be used to help address the impacts of Hurricanes Fiona and Ian, as well as other natural disasters. President Biden signed into law on Sept. 30. PL. 117-169 Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This act provides funding to HUD for loans and grants. The loans and grants must fund projects that address affordable housing and climate change issues. It also provides funding, which shall remain available through FY2028, for energy and water benchmarking of eligible property along with associated data analysis and evaluation at the property. Eligible property includes low-income housing or housing for the elderly or disabled. The act provides funding to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a greenhouse gas reduction fund and to support several programs that provide financial incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollution emissions. The act extends through 2034 the tax credit for residential clean energy, modifies the phaseout for such credit, and extends the credit to include qualified battery storage technology expenditures. The act modifies the tax deduction for energy-efficient commercial buildings to revise the maximum amount of such deduction and energy efficiency requirements for such buildings. The act extends the new energy-efficient home tax credit through 2032. It increases the credit to allow a $2,500 credit for new homes that meet certain Energy Star efficiency standards and a $5,000 credit for new homes that are certified as zero-energy ready homes, and further allows a credit for energy efficient multifamily dwelling. H.R.8866 - Expanding Service Coordinators Act. This bill would make critical investments and reforms to expand the service coordinator programs to serve more people in federally assisted housing.

Additionally, the bill allows dwelling units to meet HCV program inspection requirements by satisfactory inspection through participation in other housing programs. Landlords not yet participating in a low-income housing assistance program may request inspection by a public housing agency to determine whether the dwelling meets requirements prior to selection by a tenant. Finally, HUD must expand the use of an alternative method of calculating fair market rent for purposes of the HCV program. Introduced by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) and Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE). LIHTC Financing Enabling Long-term Investment in Neighborhood Excellence Act or the LIFELINE Act (H.R.7078).

The CR funds most programs and activities at the FY2021 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations for various programs. In addition, the bill provides supplemental appropriations to several federal agencies for activities related to the evacuees from Afghanistan. Introduced by Rep. DeLauro, Rosa L. (D-CT). Bill was signed into law by President Biden on Dec. 23, 2021.

The bill provides funding for tribal infrastructure, housing, environmental, and health programs. S.2820 - Decent, Affordable, Safe Housing for All (DASH) Act. This bill proposes a generational investment to house all people experiencing homelessness, tackle the housing affordability crisis, and expand homeownership opportunities for young people by creating a new down payment tax credit for first-time homebuyers. Specifically, the bill would: 1. House everyone experiencing homelessness within five years, and prioritize children and families for placement, by issuing them a Housing Choice Voucher; 2. Expand health, child care, financial and nutrition services for families and individuals to stay on a path to unassisted housing stability; 3. Greatly increase the production of deeply affordable housing for families exiting homelessness and for low-income households by investing in effective, efficient existing programs and reforming the tax code to strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to weather the economic fallout from the pandemic, as well as establish a Renter's Tax Credit and Middle-Income Housing Tax Credit (MIHTC); 4.

PL 117-180 - Making continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2023, and for other purposes. For FY23, this bill temporarily extends fiscal year (FY) 2022 spending levels until Dec. 16. In addition to extending federal funding, the CR includes $17 billion in emergency spending primarily for Ukraine, and $19 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for disaster relief. This funding would be used to help address the impacts of Hurricanes Fiona and Ian, as well as other natural disasters. President Biden signed into law on Sept. 30. PL. 117-169 Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This act provides funding to HUD for loans and grants. The loans and grants must fund projects that address affordable housing and climate change issues. It also provides funding, which shall remain available through FY2028, for energy and water benchmarking of eligible property along with associated data analysis and evaluation at the property. Eligible property includes low-income housing or housing for the elderly or disabled. The act provides funding to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a greenhouse gas reduction fund and to support several programs that provide financial incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollution emissions. The act extends through 2034 the tax credit for residential clean energy, modifies the phaseout for such credit, and extends the credit to include qualified battery storage technology expenditures. The act modifies the tax deduction for energy-efficient commercial buildings to revise the maximum amount of such deduction and energy efficiency requirements for such buildings. The act extends the new energy-efficient home tax credit through 2032. It increases the credit to allow a $2,500 credit for new homes that meet certain Energy Star efficiency standards and a $5,000 credit for new homes that are certified as zero-energy ready homes, and further allows a credit for energy efficient multifamily dwelling. H.R.8866 - Expanding Service Coordinators Act. This bill would make critical investments and reforms to expand the service coordinator programs to serve more people in federally assisted housing. Specifically, the bill would: Authorize an additional $100 million each year for five years to the Multi-Family Housing Service Coordinator program; Authorize a total $45 million each year for five years for the Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency service coordinator program; establish a training set aside to improve capacity and retention of service coordinators; extend qualification for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program to service coordinators.

Additionally, the bill allows dwelling units to meet HCV program inspection requirements by satisfactory inspection through participation in other housing programs. Landlords not yet participating in a low-income housing assistance program may request inspection by a public housing agency to determine whether the dwelling meets requirements prior to selection by a tenant. Finally, HUD must expand the use of an alternative method of calculating fair market rent for purposes of the HCV program. Introduced by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) and Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE). LIHTC Financing Enabling Long-term Investment in Neighborhood Excellence Act or the LIFELINE Act (H.R.7078).

The CR funds most programs and activities at the FY2021 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations for various programs. In addition, the bill provides supplemental appropriations to several federal agencies for activities related to the evacuees from Afghanistan. Introduced by Rep. DeLauro, Rosa L. (D-CT).

This bill proposes a generational investment to house all people experiencing homelessness, tackle the housing affordability crisis, and expand homeownership opportunities for young people by creating a new down payment tax credit for first-time homebuyers. Specifically, the bill would: 1. House everyone experiencing homelessness within five years, and prioritize children and families for placement, by issuing them a Housing Choice Voucher; 2. Expand health, child care, financial and nutrition services for families and individuals to stay on a path to unassisted housing stability; 3. Greatly increase the production of deeply affordable housing for families exiting homelessness and for low-income households by investing in effective, efficient existing programs and reforming the tax code to strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to weather the economic fallout from the pandemic, as well as establish a Renter's Tax Credit and Middle-Income Housing Tax Credit (MIHTC); 4. Invest in homeownership in underserved communities and for low income Americans with new tax credits and downpayment assistance, including a down payment tax credit for first-time homebuyers; and 5.
