Highlights from the 2017 National Anti-Hunger Policy Conference
Late on Friday, May 30, the White House released a more detailed version of its fiscal year (FY) 2026 budget, expanding on the earlier “skinny budget.” The proposal maintains the administration’s stated goal of significantly reducing funding for key domestic programs, including those that support housing, education, nutrition, and health.
On May 30, the Trump administration released additional detail on its FY 2026 budget proposal, building off its “skinny budget” released on May 2. This budget proposes eliminating funding for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) initiative, which is the only federal funding source dedicated exclusively to supporting local afterschool, before-school, and summer learning programs.
On Friday, May 27, the Trump administration released further details of its fiscal year 2026 budget. Overall, the plan cuts $168 billion in federal spending. While this plan is just a proposal, Congress will consider this proposal in their work to pass a budget before funding expires at the end of September.
