U.S. Congress has not yet finalized the spending bills for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022. The federal government and its programs are currently operating under a continuing resolution (CR) until December 3rd. There is an expectation that the CR will be extended into the new year to give Congress more time to agree on final FY22 spending levels.
FY22 funding at a glance:
- Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA) program received a $13 million increase in both the Senate and House bills.
