Republicans dismiss fears that their debt ceiling bill would make the housing crisis worse for 1 million families as 'scaremongering'

, more than 900,000 low-income households would lose housing assistance.

By capping the federal budget at 2022 spending levels, 350,000 households would lose their housing choice vouchers, 87,000 families would lose rental assistance funds, and 54,000 unhoused people and domestic violence survivors would lose housing assistance, among a slew of other impacts, Fudge said in a letter to Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat and the House Appropriations Committee ranking member. More than 400,000 other households could be affected by the cuts.
