Thank you Commissioner @ahmedtigani.bsky.social & Elizabeth Strojan for your advocacy. Cutting Section 8 during a severe housing crisis would put over 10M nationwide, incl. surviors of #DomesticViolence who rely on this critical program for safe, stable housing, at risk.

Section 8 cuts would send shockwaves through the housing market
The last thing we need during our national housing shortage is to shake investor confidence and make lenders wary of Section 8.
