The House Financial Services Committee recently held an oversight hearing to discuss current HUD activities and programming with HUD Secretary Ben Carson. He defended the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to HUD’s budget. He emphasized that the HUD budget is based on evidence and that he wants to ensure that HUD’s efforts lead people out of poverty. Carson referenced private-public partnerships like the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) as keys to increasing the availability of affordable homes.
