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

A federal judge rejected the Trump administration's 2025 attempt to divert homeless funding from permanent housing to temporary shelters and sobriety-focused programs, calling the decision 'unreasoned.' The ruling preserves the longstanding 'housing first' model but stops short of banning future changes. California and other states, along with housing advocates, challenged the policy, which limited permanent housing funding to 30% of a $4 billion program.
