The Trump administration has frozen funding for affordable housing projects, leaving these projects in limbo. The Trump administration has frozen or cut funding to several departments in an effort to limit federal government spending. Under this, the Trump administration stopped the funding of USAID and now it is believed that the funding of about six million dollars of this affordable housing project has been stopped.
Projects of non-profit organizations are affected
According to media reports, the US government provides financial assistance in the form of small funds to non-profit organizations for affordable housing projects. Now the Trump administration has banned about six million dollars from being released to non-profit organizations, due to which the projects for which these non-profit organizations were building houses have now stopped. A spokesperson for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development said the grant had not been suspended and was only being reviewed. It is not clear yet when the ban on funding will be lifted.
Funding freeze for Columbia University
The Trump administration also suspended $400 million in federal funding to Columbia University on Friday. The Trump administration took this action because of its inability to deal with cases of harassment of Jewish students at the university. The Joint Task Force on Anti-Semitism notified the university's acting president on March 3 after reviewing Columbia University's grants. "Jewish students have been facing constant violence, threats and harassment on their university campus since October 7, but they have been ignored by the university administration," said Linda McMahon, secretary of education. While they should have protected the students. If universities are to receive federal funds, they must comply with all federal anti-discrimination laws.'
