Stringer, Adams call Trump’s planned cuts to NYCHA ‘disgusting’
Will deepen homeless crisis in NYC, pols say
NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams expressed disgust on Monday at reports that the Department of Housing and Urban Development, under President Trump, plans to reduce New York City Housing Authority’s (NYCHA) funds by $35 million, and possibly more.
In November, Stringer released a report outlining the devastating impacts of threatened federal aid cuts. On Monday, the Wall Street Journal confirmed the cuts, citing conversations between NYCHA and HUD officials.
The White House, under President Donald Trump, is “actively targeting our most vulnerable citizens,” Stringer said in a furious release on Tuesday.
