WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 14: Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner (R) greets Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development member Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) before a hearing about the department's FY2026 budget in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill on May 14, 2026 in Washington, DC. Committee Democrats pointed out that while requesting a 50-percent increase in the Pentagon budget, the Trump Administration is asking Congress to slash $10 billion at the Department of Housing and Urban Development by targeting community development and homelessness programs and aid for low-income people to afford rental housing.
