FY 2027 HUD Funding Process Moves Toward Key House THUD Markups

The FY 2027 HUD funding process is moving into a key stage as the House Appropriations Committee prepares to consider the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies appropriations bill, commonly known as the THUD appropriations bill.

The House Appropriations Committee has scheduled the FY 2027 THUD Subcommittee markup for Thursday, May 21, 2026, followed by the Full Committee markup on Thursday, June 4, 2026. These markups are important steps in the annual appropriations process that determines federal funding levels for HUD programs supporting public housing, rental assistance, community development, homelessness assistance, resident services, and affordable housing preservation. The committee has noted that the markup schedule remains subject to change.
