Here’s a handy resource released today by The National Low Income Housing Coalition today assembled following last week’s Senate passage of H.R. 1105, the omnibus FY09 appropriations bill. The bill includes nine FY09 spending bills, including the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies spending bill, for the fiscal year that began on October 1, 2008. The bill provides for increases for most HUD housing and community development programs.

Total HUD funding increased from $37.6 billion to $41.5 billion. Download the NLIHC chart here.
