42 U.S.C. § 4843
Authorization of appropriations (THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE (42 U.S.C.))
Operative Text
There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this chapter $10,000,000 for the fiscal year 1976, $12,000,000 for the fiscal year 1977, and $14,000,000 for the fiscal year 1978. Any amounts appropriated under this section shall remain available until expended when so provided in appropriation Acts; and any amounts authorized for one fiscal year but not appropriated may be appropriated for the succeeding fiscal year.
Under 42 U.S.C. § 4843, Congress set specific dollar ceilings on the federal funds that could be appropriated to support the programs established by this chapter, covering fiscal years 1976 through 1978. The provision also established two flexible spending rules: appropriated funds could be carried over and spent beyond the fiscal year in which they were appropriated, and any authorized amount that went unappropriated in one year could still be appropriated in the following year. This is a funding-authorization provision, meaning it sets the legal upper limit for appropriations rather than directly spending money.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under programs funded through this chapter should be aware that 42 U.S.C. § 4843 governed the federal funding pipeline that supported those programs during the mid-1970s. Compliant operators generally kept records of program participation timelines, since the carryover and successor-year appropriation rules meant that federally funded program activity could extend across multiple fiscal years. Understanding the funding structure helps operators contextualize the scope and duration of federal program obligations tied to this chapter.

Tenants whose housing was connected to programs funded under this chapter may find it useful to understand that 42 U.S.C. § 4843 authorized the federal dollars that made those programs possible for fiscal years 1976–1978. The carryover rules in this provision meant that program funding and related tenant protections could remain active beyond a single fiscal year. Tenants with questions about how this funding authorization affected their specific housing program can consult a tenant-rights organization or a local housing authority for general information about program history and applicable protections.
