ACT NOW to Prevent Severe HUD Cuts The National Alliance to End Homelessness is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization committed to preventing and ending homelessness in the United States.

HUD funding is cut by 44% in Trump’s FY26 budget, threatening to dismantle Section 8 rental assistance. Thousands of low-income families could lose stable housing if Congress allows these cuts. Contact your representative today to #StopTheFederalCuts endhomelessness.org/action/act-n...

To fill empty apartments for homeless people, NYC will first start tracking them More than 5,000 units of supportive housing were vacant in June, officials said.

“By providing more precise data on unit types & locations, it will equip us to develop data-driven solutions & create housing that is truly responsive to needs of prospective #supportivehousing residents,” our Director of Policy in @gothamist.com re: new legislation: gothamist.com/news/to-fill...

We must fully fund housing!
