“There are people who have been living in those units for 5 years, 8 years,” said Ann Oliva, the chief executive of the National Alliance to End #Homelessness, an advocacy group. “No one can wrap their head around the idea that #HUD is about to kick 170,000 #vulnerable people out of their homes. People don’t know what’s about to hit them.”

The expected shift, which would be the most consequential in a generation, is detailed in a 100pg notice from #HUD, slated for release in coming days, that would govern >$3.5 billion in Continuum of Care funds, the main source of federal money for #homelessness.

The #Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.”
