Washington, D.C. – Today, the House Appropriations Committee released the Fiscal Year 2027 bill for the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. The bill will be considered in subcommittee tomorrow, May 21st, at 8:00 a.m. – immediately following the conclusion of the subcommittee markup for the FY27 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies measure. The markup will be live-streamed and can be found on the Committee’s website.
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Subcommittee Chairman Steve Womack said, "The Fiscal Year 2027 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill builds on the work we accomplished last cycle to ensure our nation’s transportation and housing infrastructure and programs best serve the needs of the American people. Whether it be in the sky or along our waterways, rail lines, and highways, this bill supports the safe, efficient, and reliable movement of people and goods nationwide. It also invests in housing and wrap‑around services for our nation’s most vulnerable – such as women, children, and veterans – while advancing policies that make housing more affordable for all Americans. I look forward to receiving additional input from our committee during the upcoming markup, knowing that its progress will help us fund the government on time and in full."
Chairman Tom Cole said, "Nearly 250 years after our nation’s founding, America continues to build toward the future. The FY27 THUD bill carries that spirit forward – focusing on modernized infrastructure, reliable travel, and stronger neighborhoods. The safe movement of people and goods is prioritized from our highways and roads to our skies and waterway corridors through investments that support surface transportation, strengthen air traffic control personnel and technology, and reinforce maritime readiness. Communities are empowered through local development and assistance that helps vulnerable citizens. And, at every level, resources are directed toward objectives that advance world-class capabilities. As a former mayor himself, Chairman Womack’s legislation reflects a forward-looking commitment to modern infrastructure, national connectivity, and long-term U.S. prosperity."
