Several Democratic senators denounced potential cuts to the Department of Housing and Urban Development in a sharply worded letter Friday to Secretary Ben Carson, calling the budget reductions being considered by the Trump administration “unconscionable” and warning that they could pose health risks.

The White House is considering cutting more than $6 billion from HUD’s 2018 budget, according to preliminary budget documents obtained by The Washington Post this week.
