Oregon sues Dept. of Housing and Urban Development over homelessness rules

Описание: Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and 20 other attorneys general are suing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), arguing the agency’s sweeping new homelessness rules will hurt support systems and put thousands of formerly homeless Americans at risk of losing their housing.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court, claims HUD “illegally upended supports for tens of thousands of Americans experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity” by rewriting the rules for the federal Continuum of Care (CoC) program.

The program is the primary funding source for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and homelessness services nationwide.
