How do you feel about about Trump cuts for homeless housing program?

[Cubus]

The Trump administration is expected to dramatically cut funding for a permanent housing program.

More than half of the 2026 funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s homelessness program designated for permanent housing projects will be cut and moved to transitional housing assistance with some work or service requirements. The program partners with communities to provide housing and services to sheltered and unsheltered people with the goal of moving them into permanent housing. It often benefits families with children, and those who have experienced homelessness in the past in combination with being chronically ill or having a disability.

The available funding for permanent housing for calendar year 2026 is currently at $3.3 billion, but would be cut to less than half of that at around $1.1 billion once the policy change is implemented, according to the internal HUD data. Additionally, President Donald Trump’s budget for fiscal 2026 proposed cutting funding to the entire CoC program.

Currently, 87 percent of all CoC program funds ending in 2026 are slated to support permanent housing in some capacity. Under the policy change, only 30 percent of the funds will be allowed to be used for that purpose.

It’s good news! We need transitional housing all over this nation. Permanent “low income” housing has income brackets that homeless people don’t meet, require 3 bedrooms for families (also not helpful to the majority of the homeless population), and are built by developers with the incentive of selling off the 15 year tax credits to huge corporations for millions of dollars (those are often called “investors”). It’s a scam. We need transitional housing.

A lot of this money was spent with no accountability. Democrat states were building housing for criminals and illegal aliens. Once they moved in, then never move out. putting time limits will encourage people to get jobs and participate in society instead of being a freeloader for the rest of their lives.

" Democrat states were building housing for criminals and illegal aliens." Got receipts for that? No, you don't. It's just another bullshit talking point you heard on Fox Entertainment.

" putting time limits will encourage people to get jobs and participate in society instead of being a freeloader for the rest of their lives."

Do tell us all about "which" jobs these freeloaders should get, because I know of NO ONE hiring homeless people who DO want jobs. And DO TELL US how anyone can live on an entry level, minimum wage salary, UNLESS they live in special low cost housing, even lower cost than section 8, in your ruined economy. Please tell us, because your Cheetoh and your party seem to have ALL the answers.

@loveslongnails there is one in Maine under construction. Democrats will not come out and tell the truth that illegal aliens will lu e there but they are all lined up and ready to move in

[loveslongnails]

Let's analyze your cruel and ignorant bullshit, YET again. The structure you're speaking of is being built in Portland, Maine. It's a response to the burden put on the city for years by the Catholic Charities of Maine foundation. These migrants were already in the USA, or on their way, and CCM brought them to Portland without any way to provide for them.

So, the city applied for a grant under the Biden administration and was given $5.4 million dollars to assist in housing. $5.4 million. That's less than 2 rounds of golf for your fat turd in the WH. That's the cost of 2 stupid flyovers at the US Open and an NFL game.
Do you what percent of the Federal Budget that represents? Of course you don't, so I'll tell you:
$5.4 million is 0.000104651163% of $5.16 Trillion
0.00001 Do you comprehend that? This is what you ass hats bitch about as "taxpayer spending". It's doing some GOOD by getting people off the streets, which is another of your big complaints. You should be happy.

There is also another project being built in South Portland by a non-profit called Avesta. It's funding completely by donations. Your party often points to those as being "taxpayer funded" as well, like your party gives a shit.

By the way, don't try and sell me/us bullshit about Maine and what goes on there. That's my home turf and you don't know crap about it.

@loveslongnails Migrsnts, ie: Illegsl alienjs.
Cstholic Charities is one of the scam artists that DOGE investigsted. Thr name suggests it is a religious charity. It is a thinly veiled scam that gets money from the government to bring illegal aliens into the country and settle them in strategic places to turn Republican Areas into democrat 3rd world hellholes. Do some research about Lewiston, Maine and see what their organization actually does. They turned a nice area into a no mans land.

[loveslongnails]

Once again, you're FULL OF BULLSHIT. While I don't care for CC of Maine, they're legit, unlike ANYTHING your Orange turd is involved in. They have over 554 employees receiving annual compensation of less than $30k. Their executives are volunteers. You're just full of shit.

Again, you don't know shit about Maine. Lewiston became a shithole because it was a primary viaduct for drug trafficking going back decades. It had NOTHING to do with undocumented workers. Maine has thousands of miles of coastline as well, which makes it tough to defend against drug runners. Drug running by WHITE GANGS is what made Lewiston/Auburn a shithole long ago - white gangs, you ignorant liar.

Debunked again, you shit spreader.

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails No, i did business with the local cops. It used to be a nice place. Somalians move din a d started to take over whole areas and finally the cops just had to tell people to stay out of those areas. It is no longer a picture postcsrd community that it was 30 years ago.

[loveslongnails]

Horseshit. The Somalians just added to the problem the drug dealers created. 30 years ago you were 24. 30 years, 50 years, my relatives were Mainers. The cops are full of shit too if they told you L/A was a great place to live in 1995. It was a shithole then like now. Not only that, it was ALWAYS a factory town. No postcards came from there. Do you EVER stop spreading lies and misinformation, or are you paid too much to do that, Mr. Troll.
