UPDATED Aug. 6
Editor’s note: Another 100 days have passed since our initial 100-day roundup of administration actions that have affected housing. The much-edited and updated document has become rather unwieldy, so this is our final update to the original list. But be assured that Shelterforce will continue to monitor the current administration and its unelected accomplices, and report on housing, equity, and signs of hope, as we have always done.
In April, we published a roundup, organized by category, of the major housing and community development–related actions and changes we’d seen in the first 100 days of Trump’s second administration. Given just how much is happening, and how quickly, we will be updating the document regularly, at least while the ground continues to shift under everyone’s feet so constantly.
Read the most recent version of the roundup.
As we said last time, in the short term, the many abrupt changes, payment disruptions, and legal limbo have left tenants and housing providers in a state of deep uncertainty. In the long term, the scale of the cuts portends a devastating loss of knowledge, infrastructure, and resources in the housing sector, with a resultant rise in housing costs, homelessness, and housing discrimination. But we are also tracking the pushback against this devastating agenda, and the wins, when they happen.
If you have updates or additions to suggest, or if you know about state and local actions that are being taken or could be taken to ameliorate these federal actions, let us know at [email protected].
