HUD cut off federal homeless assistance to Los Angeles, citing fraud concerns in the city's administration of those funds. The suspension affects active housing programs serving unhoused populations.
Funding freezes are a crude tool. If fraud occurred, it should be prosecuted and systems fixed. But suspending all assistance to everyone in those programs punishes the vulnerable population the money was meant to help. Los Angeles will need to prove it's cleaned up operations before the money flows again, which could take months or longer.
