NBC News, January 9th, 2019: House Democrats investigate HUD’s ‘failure’ to act as shutdown threatens affordable housing
House Democrats are using their new oversight authority to investigate the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s management of the shutdown, as questions mount about HUD’s failure to renew low-income housing contracts for more than 1,000 properties across the country.
“HUD knew for months about this impending deadline to renew the contracts, but for some reason they failed to take proper action in advance of the shutdown,” said Rep. David Price, D-N.C.
