Miss one paycheck (that is all they have missed) and they are out in the streets? I hope these folks weren’t in positions of authority handling sizable amounts of Federal dollars/assets?
These are people who live in government subsidized housing. Some landlord’s contracts with the government haven’t be renewed due to the shut down.
This is about Section 8 rent subsidy for low income tenants. The contract the landlord signs with HUD requires them to keep the tenant in place during disruption of federal payments. The story is FAKE NEWS.
The article deliberately conflates low-income housing assistance recipients with federal workers. The assistees are facing eviction if they cannot pay their whole bill, but the federal workers are only facing “difficulty”, which is (naturally) not defined.
Indeed however on the plus side they can rent out a closet to five illegals no shortage of them problem solved.
