Federal housing programs that keep people in stable homes are under attack.
Instead of increasing support to tackle the longstanding housing crisis, many members of Congress are pushing harmful budget cuts to spending on basic human needs—threatening homelessness prevention efforts, rental assistance, and homeownership programs.
What’s at stake?
- Vital programs that prevent homelessness, keep homes safe, and provide heating assistance
- Rental assistance for 421,500 Illinois residents—especially seniors, children, and people with disabilities
- Programs that revitalize neighborhoods and support rural communities
…and much more.
Cuts mean more evictions, more homelessness, and fewer resources for those in need. Now, even without them, most individuals and families who are eligible do not receive federal rental assistance due to limited funding.
