Thanks, Jon. Unfortunately, HUD's move yesterday only presses pause. They have asserted that they will reissue the NOFO, and we can't predict whether the new NOFO will be better, worse, or materially unchanged. We will share more as we know more. . .

Iowans--and everyone present in the United States--deserve better.

Johnson County alone stands to lose over $400,000 in rental payments supporting our entire community from this cut alone.

What's more, thousands of private market rents will be terminated due to the lack of rental assistance, harming households in crisis and pulling millions of dollars out of our state economy.

Thanks, Jon, for amplifying. We are profoundly concerned by HUD's plans to gut permanent housing funding with this year's NOFO. It isn't too late to get it rescinded and revert to their original plan to provide a second year of funding.

A reminder of what's at stake as the Trump administration moves to gut permanent housing programs:
This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.
