US EditionTrump proposes cutting national program to help low income and disadvantaged students
- President Donald Trump proposed a federal budget last week that would cut funding for national housing assistance programs starting October 1, 2025.
- The proposal would consolidate Section 8 vouchers, public housing aid, and elderly and disabled assistance into state grants, cutting $26.7 billion overall.
- Housing advocates and officials warn these cuts could trigger widespread evictions, homelessness, building bankruptcies, and destabilize local housing markets, especially in New York.
- Rachel Fee called the cuts a trigger for a "devastating wave of evictions," while Kenny Burgos said they would cause chaos for renters regardless of voucher use.
- If enacted, the cuts could deepen the affordable housing crisis nationwide, but experts expect Congress to resist similar reductions based on past patterns.
