Stop the sequestration cuts to housing assistance from becoming permanent. The cuts will not only increase homelessness, which is wrong and inhumane, but will also cost taxpayers more money in the long run to fix.
Why is this important?
At a time of severe economic hardship for Americans living at or near poverty, cuts to housing assistance programs will only result in increasing the numbers of individuals and families becoming homeless. This is not only an inhumane policy but one that will cost taxpayers much more to fix in the long run. As someone who has benefited from housing assistance, I know how vitally important and worth saving these programs are.
