What this bill would do
The Tribal Housing Continuity Act of 2025 aims to provide funding for specific tribal programs during a lapse in discretionary appropriations. It appropriates $1.6 billion for fiscal year 2026 to support the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. This money is intended to cover salaries and expenses necessary to implement programs under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996. It also covers loan guarantees for Indian and Native Alaskan housing. Finally, the Act requires a report to Congress regarding how the funds were used during a lapse.
