H.R. 4820 — Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024
The House committee's FY2024 transportation-and-housing spending bill, reported to the House but never enacted — the funding ultimately passed as part of H.R. 4366.
What the tracked text contains
Of the money itself: $81.2B across 23 tracked line-items — income security ($54.6B, 67%), transportation ($19.8B, 24%) and community & regional development ($6.2B, 8%) lead; 1 smaller category carries the rest. The largest single line: $27,131,600,000 for HUD Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (Section 8 housing vouchers). Beyond the cash, the text also sets $75.0B of trust-fund obligation limits and $950.3B of loan-guarantee ceilings — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it.
If the title matched the money, it would be the “Housing Assistance and Transportation Act of 2024”.

Not law. H.R. 4820 was reported by committee July 24, 2023 and never enacted. The figures below are what this bill proposed to spend, not money that was appropriated. FY2024 Transportation-HUD funding was ultimately enacted in Division F of H.R. 4366 — which is why the same $60,095,782,888 Federal-aid Highways obligation limit appears on both pages.
Where the money goes
$81.2B across 23 tracked items · compare against another law →The largest verified line-items. This pie breaks down the biggest spending items in the bill — appropriations and mandatory (direct) spending — by category. Every dollar is quoted from the text; click any slice to read them. It is not necessarily every dollar in the bill, and the gaps are not always small ones — where an account was left out, How this was built at the foot of this page says so and why, and a large omission can change which category ranks first. Figures that aren’t spending — authorizations, guarantee ceilings, pay-fors, and carve-outs already counted — are deliberately left out and disclosed below.
The money map
blocks sized by dollars — open one for the law’s own wordsArea is dollars. Each block is one category of tracked spending in H.R. 4820, sized by its share of the $81.2B this page tracks. Open a block and it lists the line-items inside it, each with the passage of the enacted text that carries the dollar figure, quoted word for word, and the section it sits in. Category names are the extraction’s own labels, printed as they come — nothing here calls a category worthwhile or wasteful. The quote is the argument.
This map divides the same tracked total the pie above divides — money the text writes as exact dollar lines. It is not the bill’s total fiscal effect: what the extraction leaves out is stated above the pie and in How this was built at the foot of this page, and the dollars deliberately kept out of the count are listed under the map.
1 of the 4 blocks is too small to carry a label without overprinting itself, so it is drawn blank — every category is named, with its figures, in the rows and the table below.

What’s in this bill
every mechanism we could extract, at one scaleA law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.R. 4820 actually spends against what it authorizes, caps, guarantees or pays for. Every bar is a sample. Each one sums the tracked line-items in that mechanism — the largest figures that appear in the text as an exact dollar string — so a bar is a floor, not a mechanism total, and on some laws it is a small fraction of one. Each bar carries its item count and, where the items carry years, the span it covers and where those years came from.
These bars are not added together. Only the top bar is money leaving the Treasury. The rest are ceilings, borrowing limits, carve-outs of money already counted above, or pay-fors — summing them would count the same dollars twice and treat permission to spend as spending. How this was built says what each extraction left out.
What CBO says it does to the deficit
verified estimate, quoted with its basisNo ten-year deficit score applies: a reported appropriations bill that never became law; appropriations are scored against the year's caps. The missing figure is CBO’s classification of this kind of law, not a gap in this page — and no number is invented to fill it.
The terms on this page, in plain English
What these things actually are — and what this bill does to each of them. Written for readers, not staffers; every figure in the “in this bill” lines appears elsewhere on this page.
The Highway Trust Fund
The federal government's dedicated road-and-transit account. Money flows in from federal taxes on gasoline and diesel, and flows out to state highway and transit projects. Congress promises states money from it years in advance — so the fund's health depends on fuel-tax receipts keeping up with the promises, and for years they haven't. When the gap gets big enough, Congress moves ordinary Treasury money in to cover it.
In this bill: This bill doesn't put money into the fund — it sets the year's ceiling on how much already-promised fund money may actually be spent (about $60.1 billion for highways).
Contract authority
A promise now, cash later. Congress lets highway agencies sign binding commitments against future trust-fund money before any cash is in hand — useful because a bridge takes years to build. The commitments are real spending eventually, but the figure here is permission to commit, so it is disclosed beside the total rather than counted as money out the door.
Obligation limitation
The annual brake on those promises. States hold years of trust-fund commitments, and each year's spending bill caps how much of them may turn into actual signed spending that year. It is real money moving, but the number is a limit on older promises — not new money — so adding it to the total would double-count.
Loan-guarantee ceiling
The government co-signing loans, not spending money. The figure caps how much new lending the government may promise to stand behind; cash leaves the Treasury only if borrowers default. These ceilings can dwarf a bill's actual spending — which is exactly why they are shown separately and never summed into it.
Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)
Rent help for low-income tenants: the household pays roughly a third of its income, the voucher covers the rest up to a local cap. Unlike SNAP it is not an entitlement — when the year's money runs out, waiting lists grow. That is why this annual number decides how many families are actually helped.
In this bill: The $27.1 billion for vouchers is this bill's largest single line — two-thirds of the tracked money here is housing aid, despite “Transportation” leading the bill's title.
What it should actually be called
“The Mostly Rent Checks, Some Roads Act”
Light-hearted, but earned — every word of it is accounted for in the figures and terms above.
How they voted
no roll call on this page — and whyH.R. 4820 never became law, so it is joined to no member’s votes on this site — no member is credited or charged for a dollar in it, and this page carries no roll call. It is on file as the deliberate exception the methodology names.
Trust-fund obligation limits — $75.0B
Ceilings on Highway Trust Fund contract authority. Real spending, but the figure is a limit and the underlying authority is set in the surface-transportation law, not this bill — so it is disclosed here, not summed into the spending pie.
- Ceiling on obligations for Federal-aid highway/highway-safety construction (Highway Trust Fund contract authority)$60.1B
- Transit formula grants ceiling (Highway Trust Fund Mass Transit Account contract authority)$14.0B
- FMCSA motor carrier safety grants (Highway Trust Fund contract authority)$516.3M
- FMCSA motor carrier safety operations (Highway Trust Fund contract authority)$375.0M
Loan-guarantee ceilings — $950.3B
Caps on NEW loan or mortgage-backed-security guarantee commitments. No cash is spent — the government only backstops private lending — so these are excluded from the pie entirely.
- Ginnie Mae — ceiling on NEW mortgage-backed-securities guarantee commitments (NOT cash outlay)$550.0B
- FHA Mutual Mortgage Insurance — ceiling on NEW loan-guarantee commitments (NOT cash outlay)$400.0B
- CDBG Section 108 loan guarantees — commitment ceiling (NOT cash outlay)$300.0M

How this was built
XML structural parse (title -> appropriations-intermediate -> appropriations-small lead text); each amount hand-verified against source. 8 of 8 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text — a sample, not a coverage rate: 30 figures are published on this page and 22 of them carry no individual machine receipt. Source: GovInfo bulk BILLS collection (keyless). Full bill text · committee report H. Rept. 118-154.
Extraction notes (technical)
Bill is a PURE appropriations bill (bill-type='appropriations'): it contains ZERO 'such sums as may be necessary' open-ended authorizations. Every dollar string extracted below is an EXACT substring of the fetched source text (all verification checks pass). THREE distinct funding mechanisms appear and MUST NOT be summed together: (1) 'appropriation' = real budget authority / cash; (2) 'obligation_limitation' = a CEILING on spending of Highway Trust Fund contract authority (the underlying authority lives in the IIJA/surface-transportation authorization, not this bill) — real spending but the figure is a limit; (3) 'loan_guarantee_ceiling' = a ceiling on NEW loan/MBS guarantee commitments with NO cash outlay (FHA $400B, Ginnie Mae $550B, CDBG Section 108 $300M). A naive 'sum every dollar in the bill' would be dominated by the ~$950B of guarantee ceilings that are not spending at all — the single biggest failure mode. Community Project Funding (earmark) accounts (FAA Grants-in-Aid $303,921,257; FTA Transit Infrastructure $130,828,124) give only the ACCOUNT TOTAL in bill text; the per-project earmark line-items live in a table in the accompanying committee report (H. Rept. 118-154), which is a SEPARATE document not parsed here.
How this lands in a state
three layers, in order: reported, read, shownPick a state and this section gives you three different things, and keeps them apart. First, what the government itself reports — obligations Treasury tags to this law, where such a tag exists. Second, an AI assessment written from this page’s verified record and that state’s published statistics, and checked against both before it was published here. Third, the state’s own numbers — the same rows the assessment was given, with their sources and vintages, so you can check the reading against the record it came from. Every state is treated identically.
1. What the government reports
no official per-state breakdown exists for this lawNo official source breaks H.R. 4820 down by state, so this page publishes no per-state dollar figure for it. No Disaster Emergency Fund Code maps to this law, so no reported obligation can be traced to it. Treasury tags money to a public law through DEFC; without one there is no audit trail from an award back to this bill, and any per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived.
Two of the 31 laws tracked on this site can be broken down honestly — the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the American Rescue Plan Act — because Treasury tags their money with a Disaster Emergency Fund Code that maps to one public law and no other. Where no such code exists, a per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived, and this site does not publish modelled numbers.
The route we refuse to take, and why (technical)
USAspending's award SEARCH endpoints accept the same def_codes filter but select AWARDS, not DOLLARS: they return an award's entire obligation if any part of it touched the law's money. That route reported a single Sandia National Laboratories contract as $42.8B of IIJA money in New Mexico against a true DEFC-apportioned $64.5M, and overstated ARPA nationally by about 80%. It is not used here and must not be.
2. The assessment
AI-written, checked before publication — not the site’s voiceClaude (an AI model) read H.R. 4820’s verified line items and their quoted statutory text against each state’s published statistics, and reported how much of the law turns on anything measured there. Every reading was generated and checked before this page was published — against the same two records, by the same check the site applies — and one that failed the check was discarded rather than shown to anyone. It is not this site’s editorial voice. It is not a prediction and it is not advice. Every figure in it traces to the record below, and every provision it names carries statutory language quoted word for word. If it ever disagrees with a number on this page, the page is right. “Little connection” is a normal and expected answer.
