Earlier this month, Congress of USA announced that it has increased the budget for NASA from $1,3 billion to $19,3 billion in 2016. The super-increased amount shows that the US has big plans for the red planet. 
Today it became known that 55 million dollars of the total budget will be allocated to the research of creating a dwelling in the deep space for astronauts on Mars, according to a SpaceNews publication.
The organization will have until 2018 to create a home-based bill according to a bill Congressional 2016 omnibus. NASA should also begin informing Congress about its progress in Project 180 days after the start of work.
NASA is already working with Companies like Boeing and Bigelow Aerospace to create habitats in space, but with the new bill, and the extra money could be forced to speed things up to comply with the wishes of Congress.
At the moment, you have to use your imagination to guess how homes will look like Mars, said NASA's Space Space Director at Space News, as it is too early to release any mock-ups.
