The current House proposal does not include&nbsp;any&nbsp;additional spending above the FY25 caps, resulting in an across-the-board cut of 6%. The Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education account, which funds the Federal TRIO Programs,&nbsp;is facing&nbsp;an 11% cut to funding to offset increases in Homeland Security spending. The House&nbsp;is <a href=\"https:\/\/appropriations.house.gov\/news\/press-releases\/cole-releases-fiscal-year-2025-markup-schedule\">planning <\/a>to&nbsp;hold its LHHS subcommittee markup on Thursday, June 27; the full committee markup will be on Wednesday, July 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Senate, on the other hand, has expressed interest in raising spending above the mandatory caps, though&nbsp;there is ongoing debate over whether Republicans would only support raising the caps on Defense spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, an 11% cut to TRIO programs would be devastating. Please continue your outreach to your Members of Congress.&nbsp;We are facing a year of cuts&nbsp;and&nbsp;we must continue to use&nbsp;our voice to remind Congress that TRIO works!&nbsp;One of the best things you can do is to engage with your Member of Congress locally. Especially in an election year, Members are always eager to get a picture with a group of students and hear from the community directly!&nbsp;Direct engagement with TRIO students&nbsp;is hugely impactful in preventing&nbsp;Congress from slashing funding.&nbsp;You can find a list of education staffers and district directors <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/17a4NRlt5z4yYEyTMxk88tshr2oVwYJH8-xFFDjZzKt8\/edit\">here<\/a>,&nbsp;both of whom can help to&nbsp;arrange local events with Members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please don\u2019t hesitate to&nbsp;contact&nbsp;COE Director of Congressional Affairs <strong>Owen Toomey<\/strong> with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"poin-contact__wrapper poin-contact alignfull  has-background gradient-as-background coe-block\">\r\n\t<div class=\"poin-contact__inner container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"poin-contact__inner-headers\">\r\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h2 poin-contact__title\"> Get in Touch<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t<p class=\"poin-contact__text\"> <p>Questions?
