“Millions of people on the street”
After President Donald Trump revealed his Federal plan last week worsens the crises of housing and the homelessness of the stateWrite Calletatters’ Ben Christopher and Marisa KendallS
Trump’s budget plan is born half of the funding of the Home Voucher Voucher, also known as Section 8, which helps tenants with low income with their rent. He also proposes to limit how long a person can receive help in the program for up to two years.
To save about $ 5 billion, the administration offers grants for local economic development, affordable housing and local initiatives aimed at speeding up housing. The United States Intelivity Council, which controls federal homelessness policy, will also be abolished. In April, all his staff had already been put on leave after an enforcement order.
The federal budget for 2024 was $ 6.9 trillion, so $ 5 billion will be a savings of about 0.07 percent.
These abbreviations and others would essentially dig programs from which California and its local authorities depend on the services of housing and homelessness that serve millions in the state.
- Matt SchwartzPresident of the Non -Profit Housing Partnership in California: “You will watch millions of people on the street practically overnight. There is no way states can maintain the same level of help.”
