Trump admin halts millions in HUD funding to LA Homeless Service Authority

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has cut off tens of millions of dollars in federal taxpayer funding to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority following severe allegations of rampant financial fraud and mismanagement.

As part of the Trump administration's wider federal crackdown on systemic corruption, the Department of Housing and Urban Development froze all funding to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, condemning mismanagement of public funds and 'obvious fraud' that has funneled nearly $1 billion into a broken system while local homelessness numbers skyrocketed.
