Funding Continuity for Tribal Housing Programs During Government Shutdowns.
This law allocates $1.6 billion to ensure the continuation of essential housing programs for tribal communities, even if the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) faces a lapse in discretionary funding (a shutdown). This guarantees that housing projects, loan guarantees, and administrative support for Native American and Native Alaskan housing assistance will proceed without interruption. The goal is to maintain stable access to affordable housing in tribal nations.
