Washington, DC – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10), Congressman Paul Tonko (NY-20), and Congressman Timothy Kennedy (NY-26) today led 11 of their New York Delegation colleagues in sending a letter to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner demanding that he reverse the Trump Administration’s decision to drastically reduce staffing at regional HUD field offices. The Administration’s “fork in the road” scheme and their potentially illegal firing of probationary workers have already left HUD field offices short staffed and vulnerable. The additional impending mass layoffs at HUD field offices are a direct result of the latest OMB memo from Russell Vought, which mandates that all federal agencies create “reduction in force” plans as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.
