White House proposes elimination of Section 8 housing vouchers
Summarize
Jonathan DelozierMay 2, 2025
White-House
The potential elimination of Section 8 housing vouchers and roughly 40% cuts to rental assistance were included in a recent White House request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The White House described the current system as “dysfunctional” and said that states should be allowed to “design their own rental assistance programs based on their unique needs and preferences.”
The plan would also cap rental aid for able-bodied adults at two years, reallocating any remaining funds toward elderly and disabled recipients, according to NPR.
Experts warn of housing crisis
Housing advocates say the proposed cuts could cause a dramatic increase in homelessness.
Kim Johnson of the National Low Income Housing Coalition told NPR that she thinks “homelessness [could] escalate in a way that has been really unprecedented, and unheard of.”
Currently, only about one in four eligible households receives rental aid.
“Cutting that really feels like cutting into bone,” said Ann Oliva, CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
Oliva also raised alarms about proposed changes to homelessness funding, which would reduce local control and prioritize short-term shelters over permanent housing.
“Homelessness is a very local issue,” she said. “It happens in people’s neighborhoods, it happens on city blocks and in city streets.”
Shifting burden to states
Under the proposal, states would have more discretion over how federal housing funds are used — but less money to work with.
NPR noted that similar block grant programs, such as welfare, have often been redirected away from direct aid. States could theoretically supplement the lost federal funding with their own resources, but advocates are skeptical.
Jessica Kubicki of The Housing Collective in Connecticut warned of ripple effects.
She pointed to increased demand for emergency rooms, food assistance and overcrowded schools.
“They’re not sleeping well. They’re not doing well educationally. They don’t have food,” Kubicki said of children most in need of assistance.
Federal budget proposes more cuts
The newly released federal budget proposal also calls for eliminating programs that support affordable housing development, fair housing enforcement and community improvement grants.
The administration argues that these funds have been misused, citing projects like “skate parks and concert plazas.”
In the meantime, COVID-era emergency housing vouchers are running out faster than expected due to rising rents. HUD has warned local agencies to prepare for that funding to end as early as next year, NPR added.
The Trump administration has already pushed out thousands of HUD employees and canceled contracts that support low-income housing — signaling a broader pullback from federal housing support.
A report published last month by The New York Times also pointed to the administration’s intent to drastically cut Section 8.
In March, a bipartisan group of lawmakers from the House of Representatives and the Senate introduced a bill that seeks to expand Section 8.
Citing the federal budget uncertainty, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles announced in March that it has stopped accepting

An independent will run on the following:
1. A federal jobs program to get people back to work. People will be constructing and staffing nuclear power plants, schools, public transit including high speed rail, wind farms, solar panel manufacturing plants, hydroelectric dams, chip manufacturing plants, and climate change mitigation projects(sea walls, climate renovations, forestry.
2. Subsidies for state universities and colleges which will effectively make post secondary education free or cheap.
3. Cutting off fossil fuel and big tech subsidies since all they do is give their CEOs insane wages and stock options. Enough tax money has gone to billionaires. If their businesses fail, it's their fault and their fault alone.
4. Massive fines on health insurance companies. They are getting away with murder and they enabled the opiate crisis. They will be punished severely and their ill gotten gains will be used to fund ....
5. A public Healthcare option.
6. Mandatory 5 month maternity leave. The states can add an additional 4 or more with their own funds.
7. A massive investment in subsidized rental housing and a 30k first time home buyer's credit for any family that does not own a home.
8. A data protection act that forces social media to give you a cut of the money they made using your data.
9. Free or heavily subsidized day care.
10. Construction of humane mental health facilities to get drug addicts, mentally disabled, and psychotic individuals off the streets.
11. Increased taxes on anyone with an annual income of over 10million. If 10 million every year isn't enough money for you to feel financially secure you need to either see a psychiatrist for your mental illness or kill yourself.
The amount of misery this administration has caused and will double and triple down on over the next 4 years will get people motivated to vote for the person who promises the above and refuses to budge.
"That's unrealisti--" don't care. We just watched a man blow up the economy.
"Job creators will mov--" where? To asia where they have to compete with Chinese goods? Or to Europe where regulations are even more strict?
"That's illega--" don't care you watched him ignore judges for 4 years straight and let his nuts hang.
No more excuses. The first politician who shows up to do serious work and is willing to do whatever to give the public some relief will get the kind of love Claudia sheinbaum got. A woman, and a Jewish one at that winning a massive majority in a catholic country with blatant patriarchy isn't a coincidence. She appealed to people's material needs and didn't back down. The first politician to show up on that type of time will win. The conditions will be set up for that to happen by the cruel and evil behavior of this current administration.

Hispanics got really smart about buying homes and cramming multiple families for each house. That’s 4+ incomes going into one house. Pay one of then another. Start renting them out. That’s how they stacked up out in Cali. They especially moved that way in 2008 when it was real cheap. Now a bunch of Mexican homeowners run SoCal.That hispanic number seems a little low
People put down their ego when they were young to live with other people in order for their community to have houses later. People used to clown but they played the long game.
