Does the freeze include HUD too?

Last edited Tue Jan 28, 2025, 06:06 PM - Edit history (2)

Like, Section 8 housing vouchers?

ETA: editing to add an answer I saw in the NYT that states Sec 8 is *not* included in this crazy halt.

Landlords and tenants everywhere sighed relief.

In the order that exempted funds going to individuals like SoSec, etc.

I saw it somewhere in the last 90 minutes but it will take a rewind to recall exactly where. I'm in a data sponge activity right now, I'll look for it in a bit and, hopefully, have a citation for you.

One thing which seems certain is that nothing will go untouched (one way or another, success or failure) before this is over.

then it will be frozen, pending some kind of "wokeness" review.

I think it will come down to whether or not the fed money is flowing through Democratic or Republican run states.

Trump will choke off most of the money going to states that didn't vote for him.
