What the Evidence Shows

The claim that "Trump's Project 25 is going after Section 8 housing" can be interpreted as referring to the Trump administration's budget proposals and policy actions that targeted funding for Section 8 housing and other affordable housing programs. Multiple sources confirm that the Trump administration proposed large cuts to HUD funding, including Section 8 rental assistance, and halted programs aimed at preserving affordable housing stock.washingtonpost.comwashingtonpost.comFamilies, kids most at risk of losing HUD housing with Trump’s proposed time...cbpp.orgcbpp.org2025 Budget Stakes: Many Households Could Lose Needed Rental Assistance

These budget proposals and policy changes would reduce the availability of subsidized housing for low-income families. The claim that "it will make millions homeless" is supported by warnings from housing advocates and experts who estimate that millions of people relying on rental assistance could lose their housing or face increased risk of homelessness if these cuts are implemented.multifamilydive.commultifamilydive.comTrump proposes cutting $33B in HUD funding, including Section 8

However, the exact number of people who would become homeless is uncertain and depends on legislative outcomes and implementation details. The term "Project 25" is not clearly defined in the sources; it may be a colloquial or informal label rather than an official program name. Overall, the claim captures the essence of the Trump administration's aggressive budget cuts to affordable housing programs that threaten Section 8 recipients, but the phrase "Project 25" lacks clear official reference.

The scale of impact is large but projections vary, so while millions are at risk, not all would necessarily become homeless immediately.
