  • Reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through September 30, 2023; 
  • $86 million for HUD Fair Housing activities; 
  • $1.5 billion for HUD's HOME Investment Partnership Program, which provides grants to fund housing-related activities; 
  • $85 million for grants to states and localities that remove barriers to the creation and preservation of affordable housing; and
