Federal Funding & Policy

KCHA is not a federal agency, but we receive federal funding through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

What You Need to Know

At this time, there have been no federal cuts to the Subsidized Housing or Housing Choice Voucher (HCV or Section 8) program.

Right now, KCHA residents and voucher tenants are not at risk of losing their housing or financial help because of any Executive Order or budget cuts.

KCHA has not been directly affected by the President’s Executive Orders or other federal policy changes at this time.

The passage of the 2025 “continuing resolution” ensures KCHA’s federally funded housing programs will continue without interruption through at least September 30, 2025.

Although HUD has been ordered to downsize, KCHA staff are not HUD employees, so this reduction in staff does not directly affect KCHA. 

KCHA's primary goal is to ensure housing stability for our residents and voucher tenants. We will continue to monitor federal funding and policy, and will post any changes on this page. 

Federal Budget

On March 15, 2025, the President signed a “continuing resolution” (CR) federal funding bill. This ensures that all federally funded housing programs offered through KCHA, including Subsidized Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV or Section 8) program, are fully funded through September 30, 2025.

Over the next few months, Congress will work to pass a new spending bill for the next fiscal year, and KCHA will monitor their progress and advocate for full funding. You can call your congressional representatives at 202-224-3121 to advocate for full funding for housing programs, or you can look up contact information for your elected officials at www.usa.gov/elected-officials.
