Instead of helping Americans with affordability, Trump is trying to illegally put families out on the street and block access to housing for homeless people.

When Trump threatened to restrict funding that supports victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, we sued.
Now the Trump DOJ has backed down and agreed to drop these illegal restrictions.
We shouldn't have had to fight for this. But we did, and we won.
