- Trump budget proposal threatens Philly’s effort to increase supply of deeply affordable units
The Trump administration's budget proposal seeks to cap public housing units, potentially forcing the Philadelphia Housing Authority to scale back its plan to add thousands of deeply affordable rentals. The proposal would reset housing authorities' 'Faircloth limits' and set a 2027 deadline, conflicting with PHA's eight-year Opening Doors initiative to replace lost units and modernize aging housing stock.
