Judge grants TRO for plaintiff Continuums of Care (aka homeless system of care). Brought by a # of counties that reject EO-type grant conditions. Judge says conditions imposed by HUD are likely to exceed its authority, violate the constitution, and are not closely related to the purposes of grants.

Yes my organization was cut from HUD funding a few weeks ago because our website and LinkedIn profiles expressed support for equity - regardless of the fact that we did not use federal funds for that work. 16 colleagues laid off on Thursday/Friday because of the funding loss. Devastating!

Last night we filed a NEW motion and declaration in our case of NCN v OMB. We're asking the judge to clarify that Continuum of Care (CoC) grants that’ve been awarded are covered under the court’s Preliminary Injunction preventing the administration from implementing broad federal funding freezes.

Homelessness disproportionately impacts BIPOC households and is the result of long-standing systemic racism.
