By cutting #aid for permanent #housing by TWO-THIRDS next year, the plan risks a sudden end of support for most of the people the Continuum places in such housing nationwide, beginning as soon as January. All are #disabled — a condition of the aid — & many are 50 or older [WTF?]. The document does not explain how they would find housing.

“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 #Trump admin has developed plans for a shift in #homelessness #policy that would slash support for long-term housing programs…& critics say it could place as many as 170k formerly #homeless people at risk of returning to the streets.

Pivoting from #housing #aid, the approach would shift billions to short-term programs that impose work rules, help #police dismantle #encampments, & require [force] the #unhoused to accept treatment for mental health or addiction.

Trump Administration Expected to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

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.

While #Trump has long pledged to pursue tougher homelessness policies, such as camping bans & treatment mandates, the long-anticipated document, reviewed by NYT, outlines changes that would go much deeper & faster than expected.

Millions Could Lose Housing Aid Under Trump Plan

Drafts of unpublished rules obtained by ProPublica detail plans that would open the door to full-time work requirements, two-year limits on living in federally supported housing and stripping aid from families if one household member is in the country illegally.

#HUD blames ‘radical left’ for #GovernmentShutdown

The Department of Housing & Urban Development website now has a large banner reading: “The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The #Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.”

HUD blames ‘radical left’ for government shutdown

The rhetoric from the Department of Housing and Urban Development is among a growing number of signs that the administration has little appetite to help lawmakers reach a compromise.
