Summary

A Biden-era Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program that awarded $5.4 million to upgrade Trinity Woods senior living's failed air conditioning system has been halted by the Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE.

Residents have endured three summers without central AC, using multiple fans and portable coolers.

The $5.4 million HUD grant under the Biden-era's $1.4 billion Green and Resilient Retrofit Program promised upgrades, but the Trump administration’s DOGE team, led by Elon Musk, halted the initiative.

HUD says the program is "under review," claiming the previous administration's "energy efficiency crusade diverted valuable resources" from its mission.

I want to know who everyone in this article voted for. I want journalists to start asking this of all of these sorts of people in all of these similar situations.

Exactly. A lot of these dipshits either got what they voted for, or were too fucking lazy to vote against it

Wouldn't matter, they'll just lie. Another couple weeks, you won't find a single person that voted for them.

If they would rather die, . . . they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population

Am I missing something here (after quickly looking up virginias climate) or is this no different from the average central europe experience these days? Not that I don't agree that these temps indoors fucking suck (or that just about everything DOGE does is horrible), it just really doesn't seem like anywhere close to the worst results of pausing affordable housing. Complaining on a really priviliged level if you will.
