Both the House and Senate, on May 3 and May 4, respectively, passed the FY 2017 omnibus spending package funding government agencies, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for the remainder of FY 2017, which ends September 30.
Several months ago, Congress passed a two-year bipartisan budget agreement. This agreement lifted caps on federal spending for FY 2018 and FY 2019 by nearly $300 billion.
