Section 8 Under Fire as the Trump Administration Ramps Up Cuts
About this episode
President Trump is turning up the heat on the Federal Reserve, publicly threatening to fire Chair Jerome Powell if interest rates don’t come down. At the same time, the White House is considering sweeping cuts to housing voucher programs like Section 8, potentially stripping rental assistance from millions of low-income Americans. In today’s episode, we unpack the growing political pressure on the Fed, the risk of market destabilization, and how looming housing aid reforms could reshape the rental landscape for landlords and tenants alike.
