Housing, Consumer, and Civil Rights Organizations Call Attention to Federal Rollbacks Worsening the Nation’s Housing Crisis

CFA TC

CFA and over thirty leading housing, consumer, and Civil Rights organizations sent a letter expressing their urgent concern over recent actions taken by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which are worsening the nation’s housing crisis. The letter outlines how program eliminations and staffing cuts, particularly those impacting fair housing enforcement, mortgage access, and disaster recovery, will have catastrophic consequences for vulnerable communities. The authors are requesting a meeting with HUD Secretary Scott Turner and FHFA Director Bill Pulte to discuss possible solutions and urge both agencies to realign their actions with the administration’s stated commitments to housing affordability. With nearly half of all renters now cost-burdened and homeownership increasingly out of reach for working families, the current housing landscape is becoming untenable for millions of Americans.
