The final FY2026 agreement listed Homelessness Prevention Programs at $28.096M, Homelessness at $2.296M, and Treatment Systems for Homeless at $37.114M.
Assessments
FY2026 enacted funding restored substantial support for homeless-prevention and treatment-system accounts compared with the House committee proposal to zero out key lines, indicating Dean materially advanced the issue during the same federal term. However, the final agreement did not increase the core homeless-prevention and treatment-system funding above the FY2025 enacted baseline, so the specific promise to increase funding was not fully delivered.
