The Trump Administration is attempting to illegally restrict funding for @HUDGov’s flagship program that helps communities combat homelessness and provide affordable, safe, and stable housing to our most vulnerable residents. We’re suing. We will not allow the President to callously break the law and worsen the homelessness crisis across the country.
Attorney General Bonta Files Lawsuit Against Trump Administration Over Funding Restrictions Expected to Worsen Homelessness Crisis “Those caring for our unhoused neighbors need the federal government’s continued support. Absent judicial intervention, the Trump Administration’s actions would only worsen the homelessness crisis.”f,

Whether it's taking food stamps away from hungry families or housing assistance from homeless people, this administration has no heart. nytimes.com/2025/11/12/us/po…

When rezoning was proposed 8 years ago, it seemed crazy that developers could gentrify LA’s Skid Row. But it’s happening. Investors are moving into America’s poorest neighborhood (47% of residents are homeless) with a $2 billion high-rise. #displacement latimes.com/business/story/2…

$2-billion mega-development in Skid Row clears major hurdle with L.A. officials

Commissioners unanimously recommended the construction of Fourth & Central in the Skid Row neighborhood.

There are now two Americas when it comes to housing: In one, people work multiple jobs and still can't afford a home. In the other, housing isn't a place to live but a portfolio to grow.

Trump intends to cut more than a billion dollars from housing units that are currently occupied by formerly homeless people — most are disabled & require supportive services to stay housed.

I’m glad @kilmeade apologized for his extremely callous remark about people struggling with mental illness. While they are often the most visible people who are #homeless, always remember that most Americans without housing simply can’t afford the rent.

And guess how he found out..? His landlord tried to evict him and during the court proceeding, his tenant attorney told him he actually doesn’t even need to leave because the apt’s rent stabilized and he’s been paying $1k extra a month. WHEEEWWWW!!
Harlem man learns his apartment was rent stabilized after 20 years of paying market rent. The ruling comes amid a fiery debate in the mayoral race about who has the right to a rent stabilized apartment. Goist.

Commentary: Trump's order on homelessness gets it all wrong, and here's why

There are no simple answers for homelessness — or addiction or mental illness — but Trump's bluster is no substitute for desperately needed resources.

Last year, the US budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis. newrepublic.com/article/1976…

Are We About to Have Labor Camps in the United States of America?

If you think that’s far-fetched, then you really haven’t been paying attention to what the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been up to lately.
