About this episode
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is slashing through federal agencies, and HUD is no exception. With $260 million in cuts and counting, the Trump administration’s restructuring could shake up the housing market—especially for landlords who rely on Section 8 vouchers and federal housing programs.
What happens if 50% of HUD’s workforce is laid off? Will Section 8 payments slow down? Could landlords exit the program and make affordable rentals even harder to find? And what about FHA loans—one of the easiest ways for new investors to get started?
If you own rentals, invest in affordable housing, or just want to stay ahead of the market, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Let’s get into it.
