Summary
Congress passed a sweeping bipartisan housing law in July that reauthorizes HOME, expands CDBG uses, and creates new grant programs — but almost none of it comes with money, and HUD must write rules before anything takes effect. Local officials are watching closely to see what flexibility and funding actually arrive.

Impact analysis
No new federal money yet — the House THUD bill would cut HOME funding by 60%, and many new programs won't be funded until FY 2028 at the earliest.
Potentially affordable housing developers, voucher holders, and first-time homebuyers — if and when the programs are funded and implemented.
Residents waiting for housing help could wait years, since rulemaking takes 1.5-2 years per rule and funding may not arrive until FY 2028.
