Conference committee sets FY12 funding levels for USDA and HUD
November 16, 2011 – By November 18 the House and Senate are expected to pass, and President Obama to sign, a “minibus” that will fund USDA, HUD, and several other federal departments and agencies for the current fiscal year. It also includes a Continuing Resolution to carry the rest of the government through December 16. The funding levels in the bill could still be affected by deficit reduction actions of the Super Committee and Congress (see HAC News, 8/18/11). The conference report is posted at https://www.rules.house.gov/.
USDA
For USDA’s housing programs, the bill adopts most of the Senate’s amounts, higher than the House’s.
