DOGE slashes key housing inspection contract, putting some low-income families at risk

Last year, the contractor, Project Solutions Inc., in its third year of working with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, was assigned to inspect roughly 6,200 public housing and multifamily properties across the country over the course of 12 months. In addition to flagging dangerous conditions, the inspections ensure that tenants have hot and cold water, safe electrical outlets, and working heating and cooling systems, experts said.

A HUD official told ABC News that the contract was for "software modification," despite Project Solutions identifying the contract as being for inspection services. The HUD official declined to elaborate on the reason behind the contract's termination.

The sudden termination threatens thousands of inspections, according to Robin Miller, a contract manager at Project Solutions, including those at roughly 250 "priority" properties, where inspections were already delayed or significant deficiencies were found during previous inspections.

Project Solution's contract termination was among more than 7,000 federal contracts canceled by DOGE and posted to the agency's "Wall of Receipts" web page in recent weeks. The DOGE site claimed that terminating the inspection contract would return $285 million to taxpayers.

typical used to help the working poor and lower income families, many being the MAGATS that idolize the Mango Mussolini? The sad thing is they know that his policies and EO's are hurting them and their loved ones but still will not turn against him. Cult says what flavor is this kool-aid!
