Per Axios, Trump’s gutted and DOGEd #HUD is in stark opposition to the bipartisan bill intended to increase affordable US #housing.
Many of the provisions in the ROAD to Housing Act of 2025 would cut red tape around #zoning and building standards.
Housing is possibly the one place where Democrats and Republicans agree on the need for deregulation.
But the package directs a lot of action at the Department of Housing and Urban Development-at the same time Trump cuts budget and staffing levels.
