The Associated Press has obtained a document showing that the Trump administration is halting a $1 billion program that helps preserve affordable housing.
The cuts could jeopardize projects across the country intended to keep 25,000 units energy efficient, livable and affordable for low-income Americans. The details of how the program will be wound down remain unclear.
The lack of communication from HUD about the program’s future has sent organizations in search of contingency plans. A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban development declined repeated requests for comment.
