Judge Tells HUD to Quit Trying to Change Homeless Funding
For the third time, a federal judge has slammed the breaks on the Trump administration's attempt to overhaul how the government tackles homelessness.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development keeps trying to kill the 'Housing First' approach, which gives folks a roof over their heads before asking any questions. HUD Secretary Scott Turner (male) calls it a 'slush fund,' but the courts are essentially calling his attempts to change it procedurally illiterate.
It is becoming a recurring theme. Judges keep telling the agency that they cannot just invent their own rules for distributing billions in aid. New York Attorney General Letitia James (female) is calling the whole thing a shameful attempt to bypass the law for a political win, while the local groups counting on this cash are left wondering if they will ever have a stable budget.
Apparently, the third time is not the charm when it comes to ignoring the rulebook. The government is treating federal funding like a suggestion rather than a mandate, and the courts are getting tired of playing referee.
