Sloan, who works part-time at a homeless shelter, relies heavily on funding from HUD's Continuum of Care program to afford his rent. However, this critical support faces challenges from the Trump administration, which seeks to impose new conditions on federal funding that may threaten homelessness assistance programs in cities like San Francisco and Santa Clara County. Local officials are concerned about these conditions, leading to a legal challenge against the administration that recently earned a temporary restraining order against those changes.
"We've seen this kind of dynamic with the Trump administration again and again, where they're placing unlawful and unconstitutional conditions on federal funding," Santa Clara County Counsel Tony LoPresti said.
"They're essentially weaponizing federal funding to force locals to take action that they cannot force local governments to take," Tony LoPresti continued.
