As part of a coalition of 21 attorneys general and two governors, California Attorney General Rob Bonta today secured a major victory in the July 2026 lawsuit brought by the coalition to challenge the Trump Administration’s attempt to divert federal funding away from permanent supportive housing. The U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island today set aside the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Fiscal Year 2026 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program in its entirety, preventing HUD from moving forward with the funding notice.

“The Trump Administration made another attempt to undermine permanent supportive housing — and we stopped them yet again. This ruling protects essential federal funding that helps thousands of vulnerable people stay housed. No one is above the law, including this Administration.” – AG Bonta
