Formerly homeless people, including veterans, could be evicted if Trump administration plan is implemented
A federal judge blocked HUD’s plan to reallocate over $3 billion from permanent to transitional housing, which could displace up to 170,000 formerly homeless people nationwide, advocates say.
- A federal judge in Rhode Island temporarily blocked HUD's efforts to shift more than $3 billion in grant funding from permanent to transitional housing, halting a policy challenged by the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
- HUD informed facilities last year about its plan to redirect funding, a strategy aligned with the Trump administration's Heritage Foundation policy blueprint to prioritize transitional over permanent housing for homeless Americans.
- Ann Oliva, executive director of National Alliance to End Homelessness, warned that up to about 170,000 formerly homeless people nationwide could be evicted over the next year. "We're just trying to protect people's homes," Oliva told CNN.
- HUD defends the shift as necessary, claiming the current "Housing First" system is "misguided" and exposes homeless Americans to illegal drugs and sex offenders. The temporary block leaves the policy's long-term fate uncertain pending further litigation.
