The Trump administration has halted over $60 million in funding for affordable housing and implemented budget cuts that threaten the renewal of subsidies. While 7% of federally assisted rental home subsidies will expire by 2029, some cities may see more than 25% of their assistance vanish. Uncertain policy changes and limitations on assistance complicate the housing landscape, leaving low-income families at risk. Despite some extensions of funding, the overall landscape is fragmented, and advocates express concern over the sustainability of affordable housing.
The Trump administration's budget cuts and stalled funding threaten to put low-income families at risk of losing access to affordable housing.
With 7% of rental home subsidies set to expire nationwide between 2025 and 2029, cities face a critical shortage of affordable housing.
More challenging, in some cities, over 25% of federal subsidies for affordable housing are expected to expire within the next five years.
The mix of policy actions from the Trump administration creates uncertainty for housing advocates and low-income families, potentially endangering many lives.
