Shaheen introduced S. 4895; the bill would reauthorize and improve RHP by setting $60 million annually for fiscal years 2027-2032.
Assessments
Shaheen materially advanced the promised policy by introducing S. 4895, which would reauthorize and expand HUD's Recovery Housing Program with $60 million annually for FY2027-FY2032, but that bill has not passed. Congress also enacted FY2026 RHP funding of $30 million during her current Senate term, giving states continued formula support for recovery housing. That is concrete progress, but it does not fully deliver the promised expansion or create the more consistent multi-year funding stream described in the claim.
