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

    Trump Administration to Potentially Limit Rental Assistance and Implement New Work Requirements
    Jun 5 2025
    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!

    Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae reported a slight drop in serious mortgage delinquencies for single-family homes in April, signaling a bit of relief for homeowners. But beneath the surface, a very different story is playing out in the multifamily sector. While homeowners benefit from low fixed rates and rising equity, many multifamily investors are finding themselves stuck with maturing loans and no easy refinance options. Meanwhile, ICE data shows price growth is cooling—especially in the condo market. Today’s episode breaks down what this all means for real estate investors, lenders, and the broader market.
