Elon Musk’s DOGE Quietly Kills Affordable Housing Program
#Trump is making a massive cut to affordable #housing, as fears over the #economy grow.
https://newrepublic.com/post/192653/musk-doge-trump-cut-affordable-housing
" #DOGE has cut funds & programs across the federal #government without regard to the purposes they serve or the lives that depend on them. Many of the people who depend on this #HUD program are low-income #seniors or destitute #families who have little or no other options."
$Ms in fed contracts for affordable housing were canceled after a #DOGE review of nonprofits’ websites & LinkedIn profiles for terms assc. with #DEI.
The CXL awards incl. ongoing projects in >1,000 communities
to address homelessness, disaster recovery, persistent poverty & other HOU issues.
“This move violates congressional APPNs language -mandates expert intermediaries manage Section 4 funds."
This #purge has perversely impacted my city +100s of others.

Well, maybe THIS #Trump #HUD Secretary is not comatose, I suppose. But not better that he is a shucking and jiving Silas Green (some of you may not understand that history) performing puppet.
Another Black football player bought by the #GOP for it's vile purposes. Black faces in high places mean nothing.
"The Trump administration has stalled at least $60 million in funding intended largely for affordable housing developments nationwide, throwing hundreds of projects into a precarious limbo . . . Congress chose three nonprofits to distribute the grants, but HUD said in letters that it was cancelling contracts with two of the organizations, which together were to distribute the $60 million. "

Grifters looking to siphon money out HUD.
Propublica: U.S. Housing Agency Considers Launching Crypto Experiment
"The Federal Home Loan Bank has become a de facto piggy bank for private equity and insurance companies."
"There is no oversight over how these loans are used."
"It’s as if a corporate giant shows up to a food bank and takes all the supplies."
Just in case you need to understand why they want to gut #HUD and sell off the pieces, except #FHEO. They have buried that part after a big fire.

DOGE may use HUD data to shrink housing discrimination enforcement -concern that EDOGE is there to shutter programs that the admin disagrees with.
Access to the system, called HEMS, is typically strictly limited bc it contains medical records, FIN files, docs that may list SS#s & other private info. &. DOGE sought access, & #HUD granted it last week.
#DOGE has collected sensitive data, & tried to access more in recent weeks -sought personal taxpayer...

#HUD gutting will throw the #USEconomy into a wild spin.

"On February 10, employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) received an email asking them to list every contract at the bureau and note whether or not it was “critical” to the agency, as well as whether it contained any DEI components. This email was signed by Scott Langmack, who identified himself as a senior adviser to the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Langmack, according to his LinkedIn, already has another job: He’s the chief operating officer of Kukun, a property technology company that is, according to its website, “on a long-term mission to aggregate the hardest to find data.”
As is the case with other DOGE operatives—Tom Krause, for example, is performing the duties of the fiscal assistant secretary at the Treasury while holding down a day job as a software CEO at a company with millions in contracts with the Treasury—this could potentially create a conflict of interest, especially given a specific aspect of his role: According to sources and government documents reviewed by WIRED, Langmack has application-level access to some of the most critical and sensitive systems inside HUD, one of which contains records mapping billions of dollars in expenditures."

DOGE Cites ‘DEI,’ LinkedIn Profiles It Doesn’t Like In Killing Off HUD Contracts
DOGE cites contractors’ #DEI programs, not performance, to cancel work
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/doge-cites-dei-linkedin-profiles-it-doesnt-like-in-killing-off-hud-contracts
"It’s a stunning & candid admission of what #DOGE is doing at #HUD: taking contracts away from organizations not because of the quality or substance of their work, but because of unrelated #political issues...
escalates the use of govt action for explicitly partisan, often retributive, ends."
DOGE Gains Access to Confidential Records on Housing Discrimination, Medical Details—Even Domestic Violence
While some agencies have resisted efforts by Elon Musk’s team to access confidential records, HUD has opened the door. The potential harm to #privacy could be significant.

Nice to see @pluralistic on #DemocracyNow today. I’m grateful he got into the weeds about printer ink because it is so characteristic of what’s going on in capitalism/profiteering.

…#CivilLiberties advocates expressed alarm about #DOGE’s access to the #HUD data, saying it may violate the #Privacy Act. “It’s difficult to see why a system dedicated to #CivilRights complaints would have any impact whatsoever on a department looking for inefficiencies in governmental spending,” said Cody Venzke, snr policy counsel at the ACLU.
Lending #discrimination files could feature #credit reports & #bank statements. The names of #witnesses who offered information — in some cases anonymously — about landlords accused of discrimination are among the files as well.
#HUD enforces numerous #CivilRights laws, including the #FairHousing Act & aspects of the #ViolenceAgainstWomen Act & the #AmericansWithDisabilities Act.
…Few records in the #HUD system are redacted or anonymized, & many contain deeply personal material about those who have alleged or been accused of housing #discrimination. #DomesticViolence case files can list addresses to which survivors have relocated for their #safety. #Harassment cases can include detailed descriptions of instances of #SexualAssault. #Disability cases can include detailed #medical records.
#DOGE has installed 2 ppl at HUD: given them unprecedented access to the agency's highly sensitive data on Ms of American & 10s of $Bs in payments.
Musk's men at HUD come from the RE sector -have access to vast amount of personal & FIN—& control over who can access which HUD systems. One man has write privileges onhe can input overall changes to—a system that controls who has access to HUD systems.
#Trump & #Musk are unconstrained & dangerous.
