Ranking Member Maxine Waters Blasts HUD’s Plans to Drop Major Housing Discrimination Cases and Further Dismantle Fair Housing Protections   WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, released the following statement in response to reports that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is preparing to drop seven major investigations and cases against local and state governments across the U.S. concerning alleged discriminatory housing practices. “The Trump Administration’s reported plans to drop seven major housing discrimination cases are a blatant attack on people of color, families with children, women, people with disabilities, and other members of protected classes under the ‘Fair Housing Act.’ The victims in each of these cases will now be denied the justice they deserve. This appalling move is yet another part of the Administration’s war on Fair Housing. Since taking office, the Trump Administration terminated 780 housing agency staff — with plans to fire at least three quarters of staff within the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity — canceled nearly half of fair housing grants, repealed critical fair housing enforcement through HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule and the Equal Access Rule, and gave Elon Musk access to personally identifiable discrimination data, including sexual assault survivors. This latest decision underscores the urgent need for Congress to restore the ‘Fair Housing Act.’ That includes passing my bill, the ‘Restoring Fair Housing Protections Eliminated by Trump Act of 2025,’ which would restore the Affirmative Furthering Fair Housing Rule that was eliminated by Secretary Turner and ensure Americans have access to safe and affordable housing.” Committee Address and E-mail U.S. House Committee on Financial Services Democrats 2129 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-4247 Fax: (771) 200-5093 Email: FSCDems@mail.house.gov # # # # # # # # *Please Note: Any opinions are not necessarily the opinions of the website author(s).

***************

     As you can see above, some months are better than others.  There continue to be a lot of police calls for harrassments, assaults, disturbances, etc. at this LIHTC housing complex. For some strange reason, Rockland Police logs do not often list building numbers and apartment letters where these disturbances and crimes often occur.  When they are listed, it shows a pattern to the public as to which building and apartment residents are causing the majority of difficulties.

      Have to wonder why Corporate management allows the same nuisance tenants to remain on the property for so many years when mgmt. has access to security cameras, complaints,  and police reports.  Corporate management has a long history of spending years attempting to evict those who report crime; yet, won't evict many nuisance residents.  Peculiar to say the least!

Elderly + Handicapped Homeless in America

Skyrocketing rents and unrealistic social security cost of living (COLA) increases throughout the USA have been causing an increase in homelessness throughout the country.  This isn't a recent problem; it's been going on for years and is getting worse. COLA does not keep pace with the real economy and that's the reason so many sober elderly and handicapped people, with a single social security income, can't afford a place to live in the "richest country".  Rents are higher than incomes.

Zoning Laws Need Changing in 2025

    There are a multitude of inadequate housing programs in the USA that benefit corporations and investors more than they do low-income Americans.  In fact, homelessness is, and has been, on the rise everywhere.

     With skyrocketing rents and higher prices on houses or even maintenance and repair of houses, more vulnerable, disabled Americans, and senior citizens are going homeless. They can hardly survive off of a single social security income nowadays.  (COLA) Cost of Living Adjustments are not realistic for this overly-inflated economy. 

     Some of these housing programs really do allow for decent residents to be disrespected and abused by management companies. These large corporations, who receive (LIHTC) Low Income Housing Tax Credits, may lobby members of Congress or have other powerful connections, while low-income tenants have little to no resources to defend themselves against the abuse.

     What could help decrease some of the problems of homelessness across America?  It really is time to change zoning laws to allow Americans to live in tiny homes or even sheds on any land they may own in the USA.  It's better than seniors being mugged on the streets or having to pitch a tarp over some tree limbs while hiding out in the woods in Florida, California, and other states.
