 PICKS SCOTT TURNER TO LEAD HUD\n\nTurner has recently been focused on 
 education policy, but worked on Opportunity Zones under the first Trump 
 administration.\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT DURING A SECOND TRUMP PRESIDENCY\n\nLast 
 week, Shelterforce spoke with Sarah Saadian of the National Low Income 
 Housing Coalition (NLIHC), and David Dworkin of the National Housing 
 Conference about what can be expected in Trump’s second term, and how 
 Project 2025 could play into it.\n\nSaadian says NLIHC is expecting to see 
 a lot of the same harmful provisions from Trump’s first term in office, 
 and worries Trump could follow through on his campaign promise to create 
 sanctioned encampments for unhoused people. His presidential platform 
 Agenda47 states that his presidency would “ban urban camping, offering 
 violators the option to either receive treatment and rehabilitation or face 
 arrest.” He also promised to premiere “tent cities” where “the 
 homeless can be relocated and their problems identified” by doctors 
 including psychiatrists, social workers, and drug rehab 
 specialists.\n\nOther first-term policies Saadian is particularly worried 
 about seeing return—and potentially intensify—include Trump’s abrupt 
 repeal of the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule, failure to 
 enforce HUD fair housing standards, threat to increase rents on HUD 
 housing residents, and attacks on Housing First policies.\n\nClick

 the Next HUD Secretary Fight for the Unhoused?\nDavid W. Marshall via 
 TriceEdneyWire.com Jan 8, 2025\n\nPresident-elect Donald Trump nominated 
 Scott Turner to serve as the Secretary of HUD. As a lawmaker in the Texas 
 House of Representatives, Turner opposed a bill to expand affordable rental 
 housing. He voted against funding for a public-private partnership to 
 support people experiencing homelessness. Turner, an associate Baptist 
 pastor and former NFL player, was the first Black person nominated as a 
 member of Donald Trump’s cabinet. Despite being a pastor, Turner’s 
 voting record does not prove that the nominated HUD secretary will be a 
 compassionate voice and advocate for the 
 unhoused.\n\nhttps://www.forwardtimes.com/editorial/op-ed/will-the-next-hud-secretary-fight-for-the-unhoused/article_abe729b2-cdf4-11ef-a5e7-df388d44bfb8.html\n\nTrump’s
