White House Budget Proposal to Cut Housing and Urban Development Rental Aid

The proposed White House budget aims to cut federal rental aid and give money to states to design their own programs, imposing a cap on rental assistance for able-bodied adults. Advocates fear this would lead to increased homelessness and disrupt aid for millions. Congress holds spending authority and may not enact these cuts. The budget also targets HUD funding for homelessness and proposes changes in how aid is allocated, raising concerns among advocates.
