Idaho coalition joins lawsuit challenging changes to federal housing and violence prevention grant policies
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, JUL 21 – Seventeen organizations say new federal funding rules force them to restrict support for vulnerable groups and violate constitutional rights, risking critical services nationwide.
- In U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island in Providence, more than 20 nonprofit organizations filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
- The Trump administration imposed funding restrictions barring grantees from promoting DEI, gender ideology or abortion rights, affecting programs such as the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act and the Continuum of Care Program.
- Groups from DC and 13 states are part of the suit, including Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Violence Free Minnesota.
- The plaintiffs asked the court to vacate the new eligibility requirements and sought a temporary restraining order against HHS to preserve funding for affected programs.
- Amid a housing crisis, Rios said, `it is devastating and will put lives at risk`, warning that without federal funds, individuals face returning to the street and losing access to basic necessities.
