In breaking news from the New York Times, a 100-page document from Housing and Urban Development shows Trump intends to cut a catastrophic $2 billion from federal Housing First programs, a full 2/3 of spending, as soon as January 2026. These horrific cuts will be a nightmare for cities and states to navigate, potentially resulting in 170,000 people currently benefitting from housing programs being pushed out onto the street, with the expectation that they will cure themselves of mental illness and addiction in order to qualify for housing assistance. This defies the data, as housing first has been the North Star since 2009 and is proven to be the most effective way to counter homelessness. #trump #housing #cuts
