The US has resources to ensure the freedom to live where we want without fear. But Trump is gearing up to rip apart immigrant families in HUD housing. Families should stay in their homes “the law hasn’t changed, & they have the right to stay there” said @mctleung to @theintercept

Trump is taking away care from working Americans who don’t meet harsh work requirements. Next on his list? Housing. “We expect that it will achieve the govt’s goal of kicking a lot of families that desperately need assistance off the program,” said Hannah Adams to @TheProspect.

Costs increased for all of us last month and rent continues to be the main driver. The recently passed Reconciliation bill will harm millions of tenants already struggling to pay rent by taking away their food & health care. Our government must protect poor & working families.

People should have agency to make choices about their lives, without assistance being used to control them. But Trump wants to strip housing from working families who exceed strict time limits or don’t meet harsh work requirements, which are “wildly unpopular” said @noelle to @AP

The House Approps bill takes away rental assistance & affordable housing from 400,000 people. Potentially forcing many families struggling to make ends meet into homelessness, it’s “far from what poor & working Americans need to stay stably housed,” said @noe1le to @archpaper.

Every month, millions of women, especially single moms and disabled women, face the same struggle— rent eats first. In 2023, nearly 4 million women living alone and 1.9 million single mothers spent the majority of their income on rent.  Read more: nwlc.org/resource/the-c…
