5/4/26, 4:39 PM Inbox - Agendadesk - Outlook Incidental expenses like these must be viewed as highly flexible, vital tools for stability. Without them, we are simply moving a crisis from one block to the next instead of resolving it. Balancing Emergency Support with Permanent Housing While I support the overall HUD funding strategy, there is a concerning shift in how our resources are being balanced.
