Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse: After last year’s $600,000 million cuts to the Public Housing budget, Congress is slashing again: this time by 24%! Philadelphia has laid off 350 Housing Authority workers. San Diego plans to sell all of its public housing units. San Francisco has already lost its security services at senior/disabled buildings due to last year’s cuts… We can expect disastrous consequences unless Congress takes a stand.

A spending bill is expected to be passed by February 5, and we need our representatives to ensure that funding levels are increased in that “joint funding resolution.” Send a letter today at http://www.local-impact.org or learn more at http://www.hrcsf.org.
