Moments after Daniris Espinal walked into her new apartment in Brooklyn, she prayed. In ensuing nights, she would awaken and touch the walls for reassurance 바카라 게임 웹사이트� finding in them a relief that turned to tears over her morning coffee.Those walls were possible through a federal program that pays rent for some 60,000 families and individuals fleeing homelessness or domestic violence. Espinal was fleeing both.But the program, Emergency Housing Vouchers, is running out of money 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and quickly.Funding is expected to be used up by the end of next year, according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and obtained by The Associated Press. That would leave tens of thousands across the country scrambling to pay their rent.It would be among the largest one-time losses of rental assistance in the U.S., analysts say, and the ensuing evictions could churn these people 바카라 게임 웹사이트� after several years of rebuilding their lives 바카라 게임 웹사이트� back onto the street or back into abusive relationships."To have it stop would completely upend all the progress that they바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve made,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Sonya Acosta, policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which researches housing assistance.바카라 게임 웹사이트�And then you multiply that by 59,000 households,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.The program's future rests with CongressThe program, launched in 2021 by then-President Joe Biden as part of the pandemic-era American Rescue Plan Act, was allocated $5 billion to help pull people out of homelessness, domestic violence and human trafficking.People from San Francisco to Dallas to Tallahassee, Florida, were enrolled 바카라 게임 웹사이트� among them children, seniors and veterans 바카라 게임 웹사이트� with the expectation that funding would last until the end of the decade.But with the ballooning cost of rent, that $5 billion will end far faster.Last month, HUD sent letters to groups dispersing the money, advising them to "manage your EHV program with the expectation that no additional funding from HUD will be forthcoming."The program's future rests with Congress, which could decide to add money as it crafts the federal budget. But it's a relatively expensive prospect at a time when Republicans, who control Congress, are dead set on cutting federal spending to afford tax cuts.Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, who championed the program four years ago, is pushing for another $8 billion infusion.But the organizations lobbying Republican and Democratic lawmakers to re-up the funding told the AP they aren't optimistic. Four GOP lawmakers who oversee the budget negotiations did not respond to AP requests for comment.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve been told it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s very much going to be an uphill fight,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Kim Johnson, the public policy manager at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.Recipients face uncertainty after years of stabilityEspinal and her two daughters, aged 4 and 19, are living on one of those vouchers in a three-bedroom apartment with an over $3,000 monthly rent 바카라 게임 웹사이트� an amount extremely difficult to cover without the voucher.Four years ago, Espinal fought her way out of a marriage where her husband controlled her decisions, from seeing her family and friends to leaving the apartment to go shopping.When she spoke up, her husband said she was wrong, or in the wrong or crazy.Isolated and in the haze of postpartum depression, she didn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t know what to believe. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Every day, little by little, I started to feel not like myself,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�It felt like my mind wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t mine.바카라 게임 웹사이트�When notices arrived in March 2021 seeking about $12,000 in back rent, it was a shock. Espinal had quit her job at her husband's urging and he had promised to cover family expenses.Police reports documenting her husband바카라 게임 웹사이트�s bursts of anger were enough for a judge to give her custody of their daughter in 2022, Espinal said.But her future was precarious: She was alone, owed thousands of dollars in back rent and had no income to pay it or support her newborn and teenage daughters.Financial aid to prevent evictions during the pandemic kept Espinal afloat, paying her back rent and keeping the family out of shelters. But it had an expiration date.Around that time, the Emergency Housing Vouchers program was rolled out, targeting people in Espinal's situation.A "leading cause of family homelessness is domestic violence" in New York City, said Gina Cappuccitti, director of housing access and stability services at New Destiny Housing, a nonprofit that has connected 700 domestic violence survivors to the voucher program.Espinal was one of those 700, and moved into her Brooklyn apartment in 2023.The relief went beyond finding a secure place to live, she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I gained my worth, my sense of peace, and I was able to rebuild my identity."Now, she said, she's putting aside money in case of the worst. Because, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s my fear, losing control of everything that I바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve worked so hard for.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
