Case Summary

[This summary is temporary while we research this case.]

On December 1, 2025, National Alliance to End Homelessness and other nonprofit organizations sued the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the HUD Secretary, Scott Turner in U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island. Plaintiffs alleged that defendants rescinded their two-year notice of funding opportunity  and replaced it with a new one, initiating a new competition for FY 2025 awards. This decision will severely delay essential funding for housing, as HUD now says it will not make any new awards until May at the earliest. But programs across the country have grants expiring as soon as January—and will now be left without funding for months, forcing them to shutter or significantly scale back their programs and placing the formerly homeless individuals and families that rely on those programs at risk of homelessness once again.   

This case is ongoing.
