The Trump administration is facing criticism for its plans to implement significant cuts to long-term housing programs aimed at combating homelessness. Proposed changes may adversely impact vulnerable populations in areas like Montgomery County, where homelessness is already on the rise. Senate Democrats are urging the administration to halt these plans, warning that up to 200,000 individuals could be forced back onto the streets. With the number of unsheltered residents increasing, homeless service providers are rallying to prevent these cuts from being enacted. Critics label these proposed reductions as ‘reckless and irresponsible’, further emphasizing the urgent need to maintain support for affordable housing initiatives.
