How California State Has One More Reason To Lock Horns With Trump
Californian officials are demanding release of housing voucher by Donald Trump to ease off the pressing housing crises in their largely populated state
California
is requesting Mr. Donald Trump’s to stop withholding federal housing vouchers
that could benefit 50,000 homeless people. The state’s governor Gavin Newsom
has declared a state of emergency with homeless nowhere to go and winter
hitting temperatures to the lowest due to a world climatic crises.
This
comes in the wake of systematic evacuation of illegal settlement of homeless
around California, which has picked up steam in the last few weeks.
The
issuance of federal housing vouchers was a program designed to assist
low-income families, the elderly and the disabled find affordable homes in the
private market. The programme was started at the time of the Great Depression
in the 1960s and since then has existed to help the needing in states of the
United States.
According
to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), there are 130,000
people homeless at any given point of time in California. According to Newsom,
a signature of Trump is all it would take to put the scheme into action with
HUD.
However,
while the Trump administration seems to be not interested in helping out with
the homeless problem in one of America’s most populace state, Newsom has
released state funds to tackle the problem at hand.
Officials
figures shared confirm a release of $650 million to be distributed across
California to tackle the problem at hand.
The
derailment became more apparent when Trump made a visit to the state in
September and pounded the Californian officials over the lack of beautification
of the state, due to a scattered population of the homeless lining the counties
and cities in the state.
California
has not shared a cordial relationship with the Republican President due to
their skirmishes over auto emissions, high-speed rail funding, building a
U.S.-Mexico border wall and immigration regulations.
Funds and
rehabilitation of the homeless is new on the list.
