DOGE Guts AmeriCorps, Agency That Organizes Community Service Programs
Briefly

AmeriCorps, the federal agency responsible for community service in the U.S., has put most of its staff on administrative leave as part of cost-cutting measures directed by Elon Musk's team. This move affects the agency's disaster response program, especially concerning areas recently hit by severe natural disasters. The decision to halt operations and restrict access to agency systems indicates a significant shift in agency management, with approximately 75% of employees being sent home while the agency’s budget comes under scrutiny amid claims of mismanagement.
The independent federal agency that organizes community service work in the United States, AmeriCorps, has placed almost all its federal staff on administrative leave.
Acting on directives from Elon Musk's cost-cutting team, AmeriCorps employees have been instructed not to return to agency property or access systems.
