Summary
The Trump administration has suspended federal funding to the Virgin Islands Housing Finance Authority (VIHFA) due to alleged financial mismanagement, audit failures, and a former executive's conviction in a disaster-recovery contracting scheme. HUD Secretary Scott Turner stated that organizations with corruption and mismanagement will no longer be entrusted with taxpayer dollars, citing the VIHFA's failure to provide promised housing and electrical power to USVI citizens years after Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
