What the Federal Cuts to Homeless Housing Funds Mean for CA
Season 2025
Episode 508
The Trump administration has capped permanent housing at 30% of federal homelessness grants, shifting billions toward temporary shelter and treatment programs. Advocates warn the change could force about 170,000 people nationwide out of subsidized housing. Los Angeles County alone has $217 million at stake, much of it now tied to permanent housing.
