URGENT ACTION: ALL FEDERAL GRANTS WILL BE SUSPENDED. Contact your Member of Congress NOW!
On Monday, January 27, White House directed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to order all federal agencies to temporarily block activities associated with the obligation and disbursement of all grants, loans, and other financial assistance. It does not include Social Security or Medicare benefits, nor does it include "assistance provided directly to individuals." This temporary pause is scheduled to go into effect at 5:00pm EST today: Tuesday, January 28. It will have a direct impact on people experiencing homelessness, and the programs that serve them.
We need Congress to stand up and speak out today against this latest action by the Trump Administration. We need all of your voices to tell Congress what the impact would be of even a short-term disruption in federally funded grants, loans, and other financial assistance in your community.
This action by the Trump Administration places life-saving programs that serve the most vulnerable Americans at great risk. In the short term, program staff--many of whom face homelessness and housing insecurity themselves--may lose pay. Services may need to be paused. With rent coming due for so many assisted with federal rental assistance, rent checks to landlords will likely be delayed. The uncertainty of what is to come will create unwarranted distraction for those programs that receive federal grants.
