States Sue Over HUD Continuum of Care Funding Cuts
Tap title to read story
United States — State attorneys general and governors filed a multi‑state lawsuit this week challenging recent HUD changes that would reallocate Continuum of Care funding, cap permanent supportive housing allocations, and require reapplications for awards. Plaintiffs say the administrative actions risk thousands of households losing assistance and contend the rules conflict with federal law and past Congressional funding decisions. Kentucky, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, Washington and other states provided estimates of households and dollars at risk and pledged legal action to block implementation while courts review the agency’s authority. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
