Court preserves $57.5M housing-counseling funding while challenge proceeds
Source published: Sep 30, 2026 · time not supplied · Event: 2026-09-30
A September 30 order in National Urban League v. Trump preserved the availability of $57.5 million appropriated for HUD's Comprehensive Housing Counseling program while the court considers preliminary relief. The court suspended the fiscal-year deadline that would otherwise have caused remaining funds to lapse. It did not resolve the broader funding dispute or establish that grants have been paid.
Response / context
The government opposed suspending the deadline, arguing that the court lacked authority to override it. The court rejected that position for the preservation step while allowing fuller consideration of the requested relief. The order describes a proposed $56.1 million rescission separately from the $57.5 million appropriation it protects.
