Now that President Trump has signed his “Big Beautiful Bill” into law, Congress will shift focus to next year’s budget. Congress is considering some initial budget proposals this week.

Trump’s original budget request to Congress back in May outlined a 44 percent cut to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees federal rental assistance programs and Section 8, or Housing Choice, vouchers.

Dominic Mitchell is the executive deputy director of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority and joins MPR News host Nina Moini to explain how the proposed cuts would impact his agency as well as renters who use the programs.
