Summary:
The Biden Administration’s fiscal year 2025 (FY2025) budget submission to Congress requested $17.545
billion for U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) military construction (MILCON) and family housing
programs. The funding requested for FY2025 was 6.1% percent less than the $18.675 billion enacted for
MILCON and family housing in FY2024 in Division A of P.L. 118-42.
On May 28, 2024, the House Appropriations Committee reported a Military Construction, Veterans
Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 2025, H.R. 8580 (H.Rept. 118-528). On June 5, 2024,
the House passed H.R. 8580, which would provide $17.957 billion for DOD MILCON accounts, 2.3%
more than the requested amount.
On July 11, 2024, the Senate Appropriations Committee reported a version of the bill, S. 4677 (S.Rept.
118-191). The reported bill would provide $19.307 billion for DOD MILCON and family housing
