Amid a worsening national affordable #housing & #homelessness crisis,
#Trump’s admin is determined to reshape #HUD’s expansive role providing stable #housing for #LowIncome people, which has been at the heart of its mission for generations.

At a June congressional #budget hearing, #HUD Secretary Scott Turner argued reforms like time limits will fix *waste* & *fraud* in #PublicHousing & #Section8 voucher programs while motivating low-income #families to work toward self-sufficiency.

Landlord came in today with maintenance. Saw the mold and blamed us for it being there even though there's a leaky gutter on the other side of the closet wall. Our closet was tidy. I keep my mobility scooter in there and we store one of the children's extra medical supplies in there, protected inside black plastic garbage bags. The landlord saw what was in the bags because two of them were open and the medical supplies were inside. He literally called our belongings "trash" and that the mold was there because of all our "garbage" (medical supplies and my mobility scooter)

The maintenance man had to saw a hole in the wall and and look around.

He covered it with plastic and left.

We aren't hearing word back about when they are finishing the repair or what to expect.

We need to file a claim with our renters insurance because we had to throw out all the families shoes and winter boots, 4 coats and $300 worth of medical supplies that we were storing in there, because it was all covered in that mold.

The landlord called our belongings trash, all while tossing our things out of our closet (our belongings that were stored in there are ruined from mold)
We video and audio recorded the entire interaction

Here's what our wall looks like now, and we are expected to clean up the drywall and mold mess they left behind
