The Housing Justice Center today opposed a proposed rule by OMB that would destabilize the federal funding on which affordable housing and homeless services depend. The harmful impacts of this proposed rule would fall hardest on the low-income residents, people of color, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable Minnesotans these programs serve. The proposed rule is a sweeping assertion of authority that Congress never granted, promulgated without the procedures Congress required, resting on legal premises that courts have rejected, and offering no reasoned justification for overriding decades of settled housing and civil-rights law.
