A group of current and former HUD employees in Fair Housing started this amazing project. Altgov began with a similar mission to educate the public about what’s truly happening to the fabric of our country. Here are additional voices from inside our broken system. dearamericaletters.org

Do not be fooled. Many civil servants would rather sacrifice in the short term so our fellow citizens have affordable health care and the lawless power the big ugly bill gives the executive branch. Power of the purse belongs ti congress not to the president through pocket recessions.

If CPD grants was 1st, 2nd at HUD to receive the boot was the Office of Environment and Energy. I know you’re all super surprised based on the name right? But this office was doing some pretty incredible work guiding HUD policy around floodplain management, energy codes & building technology.

In addition to kneecapping FHEO, (remember the denials?). RIFs dealt huge blows to CPD HQ staff that fund affordable housing development, community infrastructure, relocation and down payment assistance & even meals on wheels. A few more notable offices were decimated & will post more on that soon.

Somehow I missed this gem in the Washington Post. If you have continued to subscribe I ask you reconsider. The “opinion” piece says anyone deemed non-essential is “fat” to be trimmed & that it’s questionable whether they deserve back pay for not working. Is paying bills optional too?

1. Correction we are allowed to check for RIF Notices since they’re personnel actions however most aren’t or think they can’t. 2. Update I saw a number of more than 400 at HUD. 3. They appear to be eliminating entire positions. This prevents reassignment.

RIF Notices to HUDdies effective 12/09. Notifications sent to HUD email when we are not allowed to check. Notifications being sent to Unions at the same time. Positions being targeted are in FHEO, CPD, “Operations” think comms, admin etc. & a smattering of others (inspectors and housing counselors).

The economy is fragile. Especially locally. Keep an eye on foreclosures and why they are up 17%. We cannot afford this shutdown. We cannot afford RIFs. We cannot afford Trump’s major disruption on so many fronts: agriculture, energy, supply chain/ manufacturing, labor AND government, plus more.

What do you want to know about what it means for HUD to be shutdown? Ask me here and I will do my best to answer. Let me start by explaining that most of the Agency is furloughed with very limited staff deemed essential. HUD oversees nearly 80B$ in Federal Financial Assistance on a given day.
