Thats unfortunate. He should've ended it. Section 8 is welfare run amok that rarely helps people leave poverty.

And even with states having more control over Section 8, if any states put it up for vote, the leaches will have an insane turnout to vote to maintain it.

Are you pro-section 8 now? Trump should’ve ended section 8 federal funding. How is that a constitutional function of the federal government?

WTF? Where did you get that from besides pulling it from your arse?
To answer your question, I am OK with section 8 with major reforms. It should be temporary for severe hardship cases. Otherwise, we will have extreme homelessness issues which cost the tax payers just as much if not more to deal with. 1 year max to get your shite together and you should only qualify if you are working or seeking work and the amount of time you are seeking work should be limited as not to be dragged out for the entire year.
Section 8 as it currently stands is bullshite
All welfare should be limited and the Christian in me believes we should help those going through legitimate crises. It's the lifelong dependency and abuse I have issues with.

We should end all social and corporate welfare programs. Period. Reforming them doesn't work.

Only because every reform a certain group figures out how to game the system then shares it with other scammers while enforcement looks the other way.
Remember when Obama phones dropped and it was limited to one per and limited minutes but Latisha worked around that by getting one in each of her babies names so she had like 10 phones to use?

Yeah reading this headline, my initial reaction was that states (and localities) have much more ability to frick things up with Section 8, with their expanded zoning and direct regulatory authority over land in their jurisdictions.
*ETA: this isn't a criticism of Trump but the policy may be short-sighted when federal reform of Section 8 at the top is what's really needed. Punting to a "state's choice" model just risks amplifying the issues (for what i stated above).

I see the concern but what Trump is doing here is trying to put the final nail in the coffin of the Obama policy that stated all new developments must include a segment for low-income housing. Obama started it during his second term, Trump ended it during his first term, and Biden sort of brought it back, only for Trump to end it again. This will help stop the back and forth due to the Fed no longer having that control and leave it up to the states.
