"These programs have long provided low-income Americans with safe, affordable housing and shelter in times of crises."

"Neither the taxpayers nor the millions of people who rely on these programs can afford waste or inefficiency."

"The truth is these cuts are having an impact. And in so many cases, it is an impact that is being felt by the most vulnerable in our society."

"For too long, some members of Congress have been unwilling to reach a fair and balanced compromise on deficit reduction."
