The GRRP funds critical preservation projects for affordable housing communities located in climate-vulnerable areas, but parts of the program have been on hold since 2025 due to a change in administration priorities.

The bills, which include full-year funding for key agencies serving older adults, move to the Senate, but may face obstacles there in light of recent events in Minneapolis.

Following a press release posted by HUD stipulating immigration verification by HUD-assisted housing providers, the agency has shared additional information with LeadingAge about required actions.

LeadingAge joined a coalition letter to HUD requesting immediate release of the agency’s OCAFs for 2026. Now, the agency has preliminarily posted the OCAFs to be officially published on Feb. 3^rd.

A partial government shutdown began on Jan. 30^th, but is expected to be short, as a Senate-passed bill including funding for HUD returns to the House for a vote.

In anticipation of this past weekend’s storm, HUD sent a message to stakeholders requesting damage self-reporting from all housing communities participating in its MFH programs and ongoing reporting of any vacant units to assist with rehousing of displaced residents.
