TL;DR
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Kentucky and 19 other states, restoring over $21 million in federal housing funding that the Trump administration had attempted to cut through proposed changes to the Continuum of Care Program. The ruling protects housing for 700 households and 1,200 Kentuckians.
A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration must restore federal funding for housing support through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The ruling comes after Kentucky, along with 19 other states and the District of Columbia, filed a lawsuit regarding proposed changes to the Continuum of Care Program. The changes would have implemented a 30% cap on funding for permanent supportive housing projects and required states to reapply for funding previously approved in 2024. More than $21 million in funding will now be restored, supporting housing efforts and protecting 700 households and 1,200 Kentuckians. Governor Andy Beshear stated: 'As Governor, it's my job to stand up for our people. I am thankful that today's ruling will protect housing for 700 households and 1,200 Kentuckians.'
