Organizations that provide housing assistance are tightening their purse strings and making plans for maintaining operations if federal funding dries up.
Impending federal cuts to housing programs have Utah services providers worried, writes Tim Vandenack for KSL.com.
At least two of the state’s shelter facilities are concerned that they will struggle to keep their agencies running without federal funding. Threatened programs include the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Food and Shelter Program and the federal Runaway and Homeless Youth Act.
While these funds have not been officially cut, many federal disbursements are frozen as the administration reviews the programs, creating uncertainty among service providers. “Likewise, the funding freeze is causing concern among organizations around the country that aid the homeless and others in need. Nearly 50 U.S. House Democrats signed a letter sent Monday to FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, calling on them to restore FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program funding.”
