The Biden presidency was a disaster. But we’re still finding out how bad it really was.
And Joe Biden just got exposed for this shocking scandal.
In a stunning revelation that should have every hardworking American fuming, the Department of Housing and Urban Development just dropped a bombshell report showing over $5 billion in “potential payment errors” tied to rental assistance programs during the final fiscal year of Joe Biden’s chaotic presidency. This isn’t just a minor glitch—it’s a full-blown scandal that highlights how the left’s lax oversight turned federal aid into a free-for-all for scammers and ineligible recipients.
The annual financial report zeroed in on Tenant-Based Rental Assistance, which hands out vouchers to folks in need, and Project-Based Rental Assistance programs. Both were riddled with “improper payments,” sloppy “process gaps,” and outright “material weaknesses” in fiscal year 2024. It’s no surprise that under Biden’s watch, the system was wide open to abuse, leaving taxpayers on the hook for billions that could have gone to real Americans struggling to make ends meet.
“A massive abuse of taxpayer dollars not only occurred under President Biden’s watch, but was effectively incentivized by his administration’s failure to implement strong financial controls resulting in billions’ worth of potential improper payments,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner stated.
Finally, someone in charge is calling it like it is—Biden’s crew didn’t just drop the ball; they kicked it into the stands.
Turner didn’t stop there. “HUD will continue investigating the shocking results and will take appropriate action to hold bad actors accountable. Additionally, the Department is advancing efforts made under President Trump’s first administration to strengthen program integrity and ensure taxpayer-funded assistance serves the vulnerable communities it was intended for,” he added.
Digging deeper into the report, it turns out a whopping $77 million went to tenants who were already six feet under—that’s payments for 29,715 deceased individuals. How does that even happen? It’s a perfect example of the bureaucratic nightmare that flourished while Democrats were in control, wasting your hard-earned money on people who are no longer alive.
Then there’s the $150.3 million shelled out to nearly 9,500 people who have a Social Security number “that does not meet SSA rules.”
And get this: over 165,000 recipients pocketed funds for “excessively high rents,” adding up to an estimated $287.6 million down the drain. HUD is finally stepping up, vowing to tighten the reins on Public Housing Authorities and grant recipients to prevent this kind of excess in the future, per a press release.
Since President Donald Trump stormed back into the White House, HUD has undergone an overhaul.
One of the first moves was launching a nationwide audit of public housing authorities to root out illegal immigrants gaming the system with taxpayer dollars. No more free rides for those who shouldn’t even be here.
“No longer will illegal aliens be able to leave citizenship boxes blank or take advantage of HUD-funded housing, riding the coattails of hardworking American citizens,” Turner declared, as reported by Fox News.
To make this crackdown stick, HUD teamed up with the Department of Homeland Security in March, signing a Memorandum of Understanding to share intel on illegal immigrants lurking in the public housing pipeline. This partnership is a game-changer, ensuring that federal resources go to those who play by the rules.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem pulled no punches in her statement. “The Biden Administration prioritized illegal aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens taxpayer-funded housing at the expense of Americans. Not anymore. The entire government will work together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally. If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now. The gravy train is over,”
This whole fiasco exposes the deep rot in Biden-era policies, where open borders and weak enforcement let fraud run rampant. While veterans and struggling families waited in line, billions vanished into thin air, propping up the wrong people. Trump’s team is turning the tide, but the damage is done, and it’s infuriating.
Patriots across the country are cheering these reforms, knowing that real accountability is finally on the horizon. No more coddling criminals or the undead—HUD under Trump means business, safeguarding every penny for those who truly need it.
Expect more heads to roll as investigations uncover the full extent of this betrayal. The message is clear: America won’t tolerate being fleeced anymore.
In the end, this report isn’t just numbers on a page—it’s a rallying cry for every taxpayer tired of funding Democrat disasters.
President Trump’s vision is restoring integrity, one audit at a time, and ensuring that housing help lifts up Americans, not drags us down.
