Remember when Kamala proposed new homebuyers get $50,000 down payment assistance, building new workforce housing, with environmental benefits? Remember when she pledged to build 3 million new housing units?

HUD cuts expected to worsen America’s housing crisis, staffers say
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is expected to be slashed in half, according to an internal memo obtained by The Washington Post.
