Velázquez warns Trump budget hurts New York
U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez and other members of New York City’s congressional delegation have written to Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson opposing President Donald Trump’s Fiscal Year 2021 budget.
In their Feb. 24 letter, the lawmakers charge that proposed budget cuts to HUD would devastate the New York City Housing Authority and drastically raise rents for tenants who rely on the Section 8 housing voucher program.
