I’m going to keep it vague and simple and just tell you part of my work is in low-income housing. President Elon firing probationary employees in most government departments is already causing problems for the company I do work for. I was in regular contact with these two government workers who were in a housing development department (Before last week I thought they were state a department but turns out they’re federal).

These two workers we’ll call B and M. B has been with the department for 25 years and M has been with the team for 10. Both of their bosses retired recently, and they both got promoted and 3 new hires were brought in under them.

The problem is that even though B and M have been with the department for decades they were technically on probation because they just got promoted. So now all 5 of those people are just removed and the company I do work for literally has no idea what it is supposed to do.

There’s a lot of functions the company for can no longer do. On the bright side I guess there is less oversight, and fraud is easier to commit so yippee.

This probably means that rental assistance is not going to happen anymore because no one is going be capable of processing the money. Which hurts the tenants who need it because being homeless awful. And the company I work for is now in a weird spot because they will get less income from those tenants if they no longer have rental assistance. I am already imagine this company will give up on low income housing because if the rental assistance stops they’ll be losing money.

Also to clarify, the company does not pick rent prices for low income housing the government decides that. It’s not like the company I do work for can just charge 80k a month in rent and have the government pay it.
