Amid shutdown, NC housing advocates sound alarm over mass layoffs, cuts

North Carolina's housing advocates are sounding the alarm as major funding cuts and mass layoffs at HUD threaten critical services for thousands of residents. The situation, triggered by the Trump administration's federal shutdown and workforce reduction, has left low and moderate-income renters, people with disabilities, seniors, and nonprofit housing providers in uncertainty. With nearly a quarter of HUD's workforce still gone and funding frozen, the impact is already being felt, with potential loss of $57.5 million in housing aid and increased risk of evictions. Congress remains at a standstill, leaving tens of thousands of North Carolina families in limbo. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
