I urge you to reject the administration’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026, which would drastically cut funding for homelessness response programs. These cuts would be fiscally shortsighted and morally troubling. At a time when housing costs are skyrocketing and shelters across the country are at capacity, defunding proven solutions will only increase government spending down the line—through emergency services, policing, and strained healthcare systems. Supporting strong, effective HUD programs is a smart investment in stability, public safety, and community resilience. I ask you to stand up for Michigan families and ensure the final FY2026 budget protects and fully funds homelessness response and affordable housing programs. Thank you for your time.
