    The shutdown that started 13 hours ago is impacting the processing speed of loans from the Federal Housing Administration AND the payment of public housing agencies. This as LA goes through one of the WORST housing crises in its history. Unacceptable.

    380,000 federal workers will now be put on leave without pay just 4 days before Christmas. Republicans control the House, the Senate AND the White House and they just shut the government down. Again.
