LATEST NEWS:
(Updated February 2; Source: National Alliance to End Homelessness): Congress was unable to pass funding prior to the beginning of fiscal year (FY) 2011 on October 1. Since October, Congress has passed multiple stopgap funding measures aimed at funding the government largely at FY 2010 levels while final budgets for FY 2011 were created. In December, Senate leadership attempted to pass an omnibus bill that would complete the FY 2011 appropriations process prior to the close of the 111th Congress; however, they were unable to garner enough support to pass the measure.
Currently, House Republicans, now in the majority, are hoping to release their proposed spending bills for FY 2011 in conjunction with the President's release on February 14 of his FY 2012 budget proposal. Congress must either pass a budget for FY 2011 or another stopgap funding measure prior to the expiration of the current measure on March 4.
The chart below includes the numbers from the President's budget proposal for FY 2011 and the numbers (where available) released from the respective House and Senate appropriations subcommittees.
