DOGE's Cuts to HUD Will Make It Harder to Afford Housing, Exit Homelessness
Briefly

The article highlights the escalating housing crisis in the U.S., exacerbated by the Trump Administration's harmful policies regarding the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). With more than 24 million individuals in low-income households struggling to afford rent, severe cuts to HUD staff and funding have made effective solutions like Housing Choice Vouchers less accessible. These changes have left a record number of people in precarious living situations. The article argues for the expansion of rental assistance programs to support those most in need, countering the damaging actions taken by current administration figures, including Elon Musk.
