Appropriations Language

NOTES

No appropriations language is included for this account. All programs in this account for fiscal year 2019 are 

authorized under the expired Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended; when new authoring legislation is enacted, 

appropriations language for these programs will be proposed.

A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; 

therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of 

P.L. 115–56, as amended). The amounts included for 2018 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing 

resolution.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was 

prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing 

Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of P.L. 115–56, as amended). The amounts included for 

2018 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

Between 1950 and 1993, the College Housing Loans, Higher Education Facilities Loans, and 

College Housing and Academic Facilities Loans programs (CHAFL) helped to ensure that 

postsecondary institutions were able to make the capital improvements they needed to maintain 

and increase their ability to provide a high-quality education. P. L. 104-19 repealed the 

programs’ authority to subsidize gross loan obligations after 1994; since that time, the 

Administration’s role has been to manage the outstanding loans.

FY 2019 BUDGET REQUEST

For fiscal year 2019, the Administration requests $448,000 for Federal administration of the 

facilities loans program, $6 thousand more than the 2018 annualized Continuing Resolution 

level. Funding levels for the past 5 fiscal years were:
