National Housing Law Project On Trump’s Destructive Budget Proposal: Axing Life-Saving Programs Endangers Our Families

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Housing Law Project (NHLP) today released the following statement by Executive Director Shamus Roller in response to Trump’s “skinny budget” proposal:

“All Americans, across race, place, and party, value the freedom to make a good living, care for our families, and live in a stable home. President Trump’s proposed budget cuts life-saving programs that keep poor and working people housed, fed, and healthy. This comes on top of three months of unlawful attacks by Trump and Elon Musk on the basic infrastructure of our government. Congress must do its job, ignore Trump’s budget proposal and return to governing. That starts with a fully funded budget that protects us all from harm and prevents evictions of the most vulnerable families. Our country’s budget must serve all of us and not just the billionaires.”
