The Trump administration is trying to totally control federal grantmaking and turn it into a politicized game rather than an independent review. OMB must rescind their proposal, because the people it will ultimately hurt are tenants. Our statement: www.nhlp.org/press-releas...

Trump wants to separate and evict immigrant families in HUD housing. NHLP’s Managing Attorney Marie Claire Tran-Leung spoke with @apnews.com about the harm the proposal has already caused in Texas.

Under the Trump administration, HUD is slashing funding for affordable housing and eliminating lifesaving programs. Poor and working people are paying the price. This Affordable Housing Month, we need our government to ensure the housing market and economy works for all of us – not just billionaires

Everyone deserves the freedom to be who they are and love who they want, without having to worry about losing their housing. Trump’s newest proposal would allow HUD housing providers and shelters to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, who are already at a higher risk of housing insecurity.

We’re fighting back against Trump’s attempt to kick 3 million families out of their homes with a proposal that’s all setbacks and no solutions. In the middle of a housing crisis, we need to protect the programs that keep us housed - not make more families homeless.

Trump’s HUD wants to revoke a crucial tenant protection, and if they succeed, tenants in states across the country would face eviction in as few as three days for being as little as $1 short on rent. We’re fighting back to stop families from losing their homes.

For 50+ years, @splcenter.org has served as a bulwark against hate, extremism, and white supremacy. The Justice Department is deliberately targeting them because this important work and we denounce today's indictment.
