Trump Administration Releases CoC Funding Notice Drastically Cutting Funding for Permanent Housing and Putting 170,000 People At Risk of Homelessness (November 14, 2025 )
November 14, 2025 — The National Low Income Housing Coalition reports that a new federal funding notice from the Trump administration significantly alters how the government addresses homelessness.
By capping Continuum of Care (CoC) support for permanent housing programs at 30%, the policy shift threatens to leave approximately 170,000 individuals without stable residences. The updated criteria prioritize mandatory services and camping bans over established Housing First models, which critics argue will lead to increased criminalization and system instability. Furthermore, late administrative deadlines are expected to create funding gaps, potentially causing service interruptions for vulnerable populations like veterans and families. Ultimately, the document condemns these changes as a transition from evidence-based solutions to less effective, high-barrier interventions.
