HUD is bracing for possible budget cuts, something the first Trump administration proposed but was unable to get through Congress. Other changes could restrict who gets rental aid.
President-elect Donald Trump's first administration repeatedly sought to make deep cuts to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's budget. Those plans never passed Congress. But many housing and anti-poverty advocates think this time will be different.President-elect Donald Trump has chosen former Texas state Rep. Scott Turner to serve as secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
Scott Turner, chairman of the Center for Education Opportunity at the America First Policy Institute, speaks during an event at the institute in January 2022"The agenda is much more organized now," says Peggy Bailey, executive vice president for policy and program development at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities."We do anticipate some pretty significant budget fights."
The presidential campaign made clear that the high cost of living is a huge issue for many Americans, he says, and"the optics there might not be great to roll things back."
