Trump administration halts program that keeps aging affordable housing livable

Summary

77% Informative

The program has already awarded the money to projects that would upgrade at least 25,000 affordable units across the country.

Preserving these units gets less attention than ribbon-cuttings, but it's a centerpiece of efforts to address the nation's housing crisis.

The action is part of a slew of cuts and funding freezes at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development .

HUD 's lack of communication about the program's future sent organizations in search of contingency plans.

Smith Tower's administrator: "If this building were not here, a lot of our folks actually probably would be homeless" The rest of the affordable-housing projects are in limbo.
