The Trump administration has suspended federal funding to Los Angeles’s beleaguered homelessness agency.
The announcement is the administration’s latest move rescinding funding to California, where Donald Trump has feuded with the state’s Democratic leaders.
In a letter to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the largest continuum of care (CoC) homeless services agency in the nation, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (Hud) immediately suspended funds to the agency, pending an investigation citing allegations of fraud.
“Hud will fund results, not corrupt failure or the homeless industrial complex,” secretary Scott Turner said in a statement. “Taxpayers will no longer bankroll an organization that puts its own self-interests ahead of the Americans it was created to serve.”

The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which has received $1 billion in government funding over the past five years, has shown “repeated false statements and its irresponsible actions and failures” including lack of financial management and safeguards, HUD said.
“Year after year, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars were funneled to LAHSA with little accountability,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a statement. “Meanwhile, homelessness skyrocketed. Taxpayers will no longer bankroll an organization that puts its own self-interests ahead of the Americans it was created to serve.”
The move comes the same day that HUD’s inspector general opened an investigation of LAHSA. HUD says it is immediately suspending the agency because investigations in 2023, 2024 and 2025 uncovered different problems.
Depending on the outcome of the investigation, HUD could debar LAHSA permanently, it said.
