Trump renews push to shift homelessness funding. What’s at stake

The Trump administration is pushing to redirect federal homelessness funding toward shelters requiring sobriety, challenging California’s 'housing-first' approach. A federal judge previously blocked a similar effort, but the administration is attempting again, facing legal challenges from groups including the National Alliance to End Homelessness and Santa Clara County. The changes could cost California $238 million and displace 15,000 people.
