Washington, D.C. – Today, the House Appropriations Committee met to consider the Fiscal Year 2027 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 34 to 27.
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee Chairman Steve Womack (R-AR) said, "America’s outstanding level of mobility and housing affordability has long set our nation apart and represents key components of the American dream. My Fiscal Year 2027 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development funding bill builds on that reputation of excellence by investing in the modernization of our national airspace system, providing resources to properly maintain and improve our roads, bridges, and railways, and giving vulnerable Americans the resources they need to keep a roof over their heads – setting them up for future success. I thank THUD Ranking Member Jim Clyburn for his partnership on this bill and Chairman Tom Cole for his leadership in swiftly bringing it before the committee for consideration."
Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) said, "America's future will be shaped not only by what we envision, but by what we build. The FY27 THUD bill invests in modernized infrastructure, mobility, and community priorities that will keep our nation moving forward. Whether on our highways, in our ports, across our waterways, or through our skies, the measure reinforces the networks that keep America safely connected and competitive. It further supports local development efforts and assistance for vulnerable Americans, ensuring communities have the resources to grow, adapt, and thrive. As a former mayor, Chairman Womack understands that strong infrastructure and strong communities go hand in hand. His legislation reflects a practical commitment to delivering results that will benefit Americans for generations to come. With this action, we have now advanced nine FY27 appropriations bills, continuing to move both the appropriations process and the nation's priorities forward through regular order."
