Anna Bailey (she/her) @annakbailey.bsky.social · 14/11/2025The new CoC application promotes rigid one-size-fits-all services that force people to stay homeless or push someone who is stably housed back onto the streets if they can’t jump through arbitrary hoops. 120
Anna Bailey (she/her) @annakbailey.bsky.social · 14/11/2025It could also penalize grantee organizations that try to make programs work for everyone, including people of color and trans and nonbinary people. HUD could dramatically cut funding, or even take funding away from whole communities. 130
Anna Bailey (she/her) @annakbailey.bsky.social · 14/11/2025This is unacceptable. Congress should require HUD to renew *existing* CoC grants to provide communities with continuity and avoid the inevitable chaos and extreme disruptions to housing and to the services that help hundreds of thousands of unhoused people survive. 131
