A coalition led by King County, Washington, has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, challenging what they deem unconstitutional funding stipulations imposed by the Trump administration. The lawsuit asserts that such unilateral changes to federal grant conditions violate the authority of Congress. It seeks to protect funding critical for services supporting vulnerable populations, including the chronically homeless. Key cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Boston join the suit, highlighting the widespread impact of these funding restrictions on local communities.
The lawsuit claims that the executive branch cannot unilaterally change federal grant conditions without the expressed approval of Congress.
New York City was awarded $53.5 million in Continuum of Care funds from HUD, critical for supporting chronically homeless households with various challenges.
