The government shutdown continues as of October 27, 2025. At this time, FRH is not expecting any changes to its operations. We have been notified that the Housing Choice Voucher program is funded through November. HAP payments are expected to go out as usual.

If you or someone you know are impacted by the lack of SNAP benefits for November, please visit our Community Resources page for a full list of resources as of October 2025. 

FRH will continue to monitor the shutdown and provide updates as soon as possible. Please give us a call if you have any other questions.

Congress has failed to pass a funding agreement or continuing resolution resulting in a full government shutdown as of 12:01 AM on October 1, 2025. 

Foothills Regional Housing is not a federal agency and our staff are not federal employees. This means we will not have to cease or scale back operations during a government shutdown, at least in the short-term. 

We have been notified by HUD that we are fully funded through the end of 2025. October, November, and December's HAP payments will go out as scheduled. FRH made the change at the beginning of 2025 to no longer pre-issue HAP payments. This means that FRH processes payments as soon as funding is in our account, with payments typically going out on the first business day of the month.

​It is our hope that congress will find an agreement soon. No matter what, FRH is diligently monitoring the situation and will continue to keep you updated.

Foothills Regional Housing is monitoring progress on the FY 2026 federal budget and preparing for the possibility of a government shutdown. The government is currently operating on a continuing resolution for FY 2025, which is set to expire on September 30, 2025.

Two continuing resolution proposals to keep the government open failed to reach the 60 votes needed to pass. Congress is currently in recess, and the House is scheduled to remain in recess past the September 30 deadline to fund the government.
 
Despite this uncertainty, Foothills Regional Housing is not a federal agency and our staff are not federal employees. This means we will not have to cease or scale back operations during a government shutdown, at least in the short term.

In 2024, FRH announced various monetary incentives for our landlords. We were able to offer these because of our MTW status which allows us to use all of our HCV funding flexibly, rather than being required to hold two "buckets" of funding (administration and HAP) like other PHAs.

​Unfortunately, in 2025 there has been uncertainty surrounding federal funding for many programs, including the HCV program. We are still awaiting a final budget from HUD for the HCV program. Due to this uncertainty, FRH has made the difficult decision to halt landlord incentives.

We are excited to announce the launch of a new corner of our website - the landlord webpage! This page will have helpful information for landlords who already lease to HCV participants and those who are curious about doing so. As many of you know, changes at the federal level have the potential to impact our HCV program so the site will also keep you informed if anything changes - either federally or locally.
