US Edition‘Millions out on the street virtually overnight’: How Trump budget could affect California
- Russel Vought, the president's budget director, outlined to the Senate Appropriations Committee plans to reduce federal spending by $163 billion annually, alongside significant boosts in funding for military and border security.
- The budget proposal seeks to cut $33.5 billion from Housing and Urban Development, including halving funding for the 'dysfunctional' Housing Choice Voucher program and shifting its administration to states.
- The plan proposes cutting funding for local economic development, affordable housing initiatives, and homelessness programs, significantly altering the allocation of federal resources and calling to disband the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness.
- Advocates warn the cuts could force millions nationwide, including 560,000 in California, into homelessness 'virtually overnight,' with Matt Schwartz saying the proposal puts members of Congress in a difficult position.
- While the budget aims to reduce federal bureaucracy and grant states more control, its approval could exacerbate the housing crisis, but final spending depends on congressional negotiation and is uncertain.
