The Trump administration's proposed budget cuts threaten to undermine the Section 8 housing voucher program, jeopardizing affordable housing for millions of low-income families across America, including 365 thousand people in Pennsylvania who were living in Section 8 housing in 2023. Moreover, there are only 15 affordable and available rental homes for every 100 extremely low-income renter households in Centre County. As a lawmaker, you have the power to safeguard this vital program and uphold the right to accessible housing. The Section 8 vouchers provide crucial rental assistance, ensuring that vulnerable communities can secure safe and stable homes without being overburdened by costs. Protecting this program is not only a moral imperative but also an investment in the well-being of our nation's most vulnerable citizens. I urge you to reject any proposed cuts to Section 8 vouchers and prioritize the housing needs of struggling American families.
