"Housing Secretary Marcia Fudge Resigns from Biden Administration"

Marcia Fudge, the secretary of housing and urban development, has announced her resignation, citing family concerns and a desire to spend more time with her 92-year-old mother. Her departure conflicts with the White House's plan to keep the president's cabinet and senior team intact through the November election. Deputy housing secretary Adrianne Todman will take over as acting secretary, but it seems unlikely that a new nominee could be chosen, vetted, and confirmed by the Senate before the election in November.

"Record-breaking surge in U.S. homelessness amid reduced covid-era support"

Homelessness in the United States has surged by a record 12 percent as emergency COVID-19 assistance decreased, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Over 650,000 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in January 2023, the highest number since reporting began in 2007. The increase is attributed to the expiration of pandemic measures, higher rental prices, fewer protections, and a housing shortage. Homelessness among families with children rose by 16 percent, while the number of veterans experiencing homelessness rose by 7 percent. The data highlights the urgent need for sustained investment in evidence-based approaches to address homelessness.

Rising Rents and COVID Aid Cuts Drive Record High Homelessness in America

The number of homeless people in the United States has reached a record high, increasing by 12% in the past year, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Rising rents and the end of pandemic aid programs have contributed to the surge, with over 653,000 people experiencing homelessness. The increase is particularly notable among families with children, veterans, and Asian and Hispanic/Latino individuals. Experts attribute the rise to a shortage of affordable housing, high housing costs, and the impact of migrants in many U.S. cities. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge emphasized the need for urgent support and prevention strategies to address the issue.
