Weāre suing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for restricting access to housing grants based on politically-motivated criteria. These federal funds exist to aid people experiencing homelessness ā not to punish states, localities, and service providers trying to help.

Being unhoused because you canāt afford housing is not the same as being unable to care for yourself due to mental illness! The EO ignores real solutions like fully funding housing first, including support services, would throw people in institutions, violating rights, wasting money and lives.

These cuts would further decimate already grossly underfunded housing assistance--right now only 1 in 4 of those poor enough to qualify for housing assistnce actually get it because of lack of funding.
