Federal and Local Agencies Clash Over Homelessness Funding in Los Angeles
A conflict between the Trump administration and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) has put federal funding for homelessness services in jeopardy. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has paused executing contracts, affecting 12 organizations that rely on federal money to provide housing and services. This pause is part of a larger investigation into LAHSA's management of federal funds, which could impact a total of $240 million in funding. Nonprofits are currently operating without signed agreements, leading to uncertainty about future reimbursements.
