Judge shoots down Trump’s homeless funding shift: ‘The hallmark of unreasoned decision making’

A federal judge rejected the Trump administration's attempt to divert 2025 homeless funding away from permanent housing, calling the decision 'unreasoned.' The ruling preserves California's use of federal funds for long-term housing, which the administration sought to limit to 30% of a $4 billion program. The judge allowed the administration to pursue future changes but criticized HUD's failure to assess the impact of its abrupt shift from the 'housing first' model.
