Advocates gathered last week at the Massachusetts GOP headquarters in the West End to protest President Donald Trump’s proposed 2026 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, which would cut funding in housing for low-income families.

Housing assistance is a critical resource, supporting hardworking Americans around the country. Amidst wage stagnation and a rising cost of living, subsidized housing offers support and stability for millions of Americans.

In reaction to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s suspension of an important fair housing rule, a groundswell of national advocacy has emerged calling to preserve the rule and its goals of fair housing for all.  To date, and in separate actions, both cities and states are speaking up for the 50-year old Fair Housing Act and the goals that it has yet to achieve.
