FY26 Budget & Appropriations
CLPHA closely follows the budget and appropriations process, providing summaries and analysis for our members.
Workforce Development
Nearly 75% of PHA residents are children, elderly, or disabled—not work-able populations. Only about 25% of PHA residents are able-bodied adults, most of whom work low-wage jobs. Public housing authorities (PHA) are focused on offering able-bodied adults workforce development and self-sufficiency opportunities with support from HUD programs and local partnerships.
Emergency Housing Vouchers
The Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program, established in May 2021 through the American Rescue Plan, represents one of the most significant and successful federal investments in addressing homelessness in recent history. The sudden and unexpected termination of the program will be devastating for families, private property owners and their communities.
