“In his first two years as HUD secretary, Carson has unfortunately focused either on trivial and ill-conceived initiatives like Envision Centers, or on attempting large-scale harm to low-income residents by proposing budget cuts, rent hikes, work requirements, and suspending important fair housing initiatives,” said Diane Yentel, president and chief executive of the National Low Income Housing Coalition. “Let's hope he spends the next two years instead focused on promoting and expanding real solutions to the housing crisis, starting with pushing for increased funding for HUD's critical programs.”
