A coalition of housing justice groups rallied across the United States to protest significant cuts to federal housing assistance proposed in President Trump's discretionary budget. The budget suggests a 44% reduction to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), eliminating substantial funds from rental assistance programs and Community Development Block Grants. Advocacy leaders emphasize the historical fight against housing injustices while warning that these current threats undermine essential protections for vulnerable populations, with Congresswoman Summer Lee highlighting the stark reality of these cuts benefiting the wealthy at the expense of low-income renters.
People might feel abandoned by this government and hopeless for any change, but we're gonna do what our founder, Gale Cincotta, told us to do before she died: we're gonna get the crooks, the politicians, the corporations, all of them.
We are being told that this lifeline, these very basic protections, are on the chopping block so that billionaires can get yet another tax break.
