A proposed federal cut could cause more than two-thousand people in Wisconsin to lose their housing.
According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, about 170-thousand formerly homeless people nationwide would be cut from permanent housing. In Wisconsin, 52 percent of permanent housing is covered by more than 27-million dollars from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD has claimed that cutting funding for permanent housing beds will restore “accountability to homelessness programs” while promoting “self-sufficiency among vulnerable Americans.”
