And I am really concerned because your department has ignored the law and done the opposite. HUD is required to prioritize proven strategies to reduce homelessness, including permanent housing, permanent supportive housing, and rapid rehousing. But Last year, you limited our local government's use of federal government grants for those exact proven solutions, at least until a federal judge and Congress stopped you. And in my state, you could have cut the federal funding to house people who are homeless by more than half nationwide. Your changes could have put more than 170,000 households on the street.
