Trump Administration to Potentially Limit Rental Assistance and Implement New Work Requirements

HUD is working on a proposed rule that would let more housing authorities cut off federal rental aid after two years and require recipients to work—without Congress passing a new law. In today’s episode, we break down what’s in the rule, why housing advocates are alarmed, and how HUD might legally justify this move under the federal rulemaking process. We’ll also explore how similar past efforts failed and what this could mean for renters, landlords, and developers alike. If this rule goes through, it could fundamentally alter how Section 8 operates—and reshape the affordable housing landscape across the U.S. Read the NPR report here: https://www.npr.org/2025/06/04/nx-s1-5422410/housing-rent-assistance-time-limits-work-requirements-hud Subscribe to the BiggerPockets Channel for the best real estate investing education online!
