If the federal government has its way, programs that provide housing subsidies to low-income people will soon be cut,
and current recipients will have to comply with work rules and time limits on residency.
Those who receive Section 8 subsidies are now facing draconian budget-slashing that will put millions in danger of losing their homes.

While similar behavior has also been noted in text-based large language models (LLMs), it becomes significantly more prominent when MLLMs process image inputs.
