Homelessness Spending Shift: New HUD Rules Could Change Everything | Weekend Edition

About this episode

The episode discusses new HUD rules on homelessness funding, government spending issues, and rising mortgage rates.

On this edition of the Center Square Radio Hour, a California commission reported a “troubling increase” in the number of cases where government officials spend taxpayer dollars to illegally campaign for or against local ballot measures. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced a $4 billion funding opportunity for homelessness services on Monday, shifting away from the Housing First model. Louisiana closed out its legislative session with a $47 Billion operating budget. And Mortgage rates are increasing, even as the Fed holds steady.
