The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development office in Kansas City is dealing with federal government cuts. How will vital community resources be impacted?

Kansas City's HUD office provides a variety of critical services to the community, including fair housing investigations, disaster relief and tenant support. But due to recent federal government cuts, the agency has lost a large portion of its staff. Treka Henry, a senior program analyst in HUD's Office of Field Policy and Management, estimates around 30% of staff are now gone. Henry sat down with KCUR's Nomin Ujiyediin to discuss the impact of this staffing shortage.
