Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies (THUD) Appropriations for FY2025

The House and the Senate Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies (THUD) Appropriations Subcommittees are charged with providing annual appropriations for the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and certain related agencies. The FY2025 appropriations process began with the release of the President’s budget request to Congress on March 11, 2024. For the agencies that comprise the THUD budget, it proposed the following: For DOT, $106.4 billion in total funding (the same as FY2024), including $25.5 billion in discretionary funding (-5.6% relative to FY2024) and $80.9 billion in mandatory funding (+2% relative to FY2024). For HUD, $64.3 billion in discretionary funding (-8.3% relative to FY2024), which includes $10.4 billion in emergency funding for regular program operations. For related agencies, $462 million in discretionary funding (+8.1% relative to FY2024). On July 10, the House Appropriations Committee marked up and ordered reported its FY2025 THUD appropriations bill (H.R. 9028; H.Rept. 118-584), following subcommittee markup on June 27. It included the following: For DOT, $106.7 billion in total funding (nearly even with FY2024), including $25.1 billion in discretionary funding (-6.9% relative to FY2024) and $81.5 billion in mandatory funding (+2.7% relative to FY2024). For HUD, $64.8 billion (-7.5% relative to FY2024 when including emergency funding for regular program operations provided in FY2024; +4.4% when excluding that emergency funding). For related agencies, $442 million (+3.3% relative to FY2024). Forgoing initial subcommittee markup, the Senate Appropriations Committee marked up and ordered reported its FY2025 THUD appropriations bill (S. 4796; S.Rept. 118-199) on July 25. It included the following: For DOT, $110.1 billion in total funding (+3.5% relative to FY2024), including $28.5 billion in discretionary funding (+5.6% relative to FY2024) and $81.6 billion in mandatory funding (+2.8% relative to FY2024). For HUD, $58.8 billion in regular appropriations and $11 billion in emergency designated funding for regular program operations, for a combined total of $69.8 billion (<1% decrease relative to FY2024). For related agencies, $454 million (+6.1% relative to FY2024). On September 26, 2024 the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, was signed into law (H.R. 9747; P.L. 118-83). Division A was a continuing resolution that maintained funding for federal agencies, including those typically funded in the THUD appropriations legislation, at FY2024 levels through December 20, 2024, with some anomalies. That CR was extended through March 14, 2025, by Division A of P.L. 118-83. Before the expiration of the second CR, Congress approved and the President signed a full-year CR (P.L. 119-4), funding most THUD accounts in FY2025 at their FY2024 levels, with some exceptions, also referred to as anomalies.
