The Trump administration plans to slash nearly $400 million in federal funding for homeless programs while taking aim at Los Angeles’ under-fire homeless-services agency for its “abysmal record. ” The White House’s budget proposal, released Friday, said that the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority has failed in its job to house homeless people. “LAHSA has an abysmal record of reducing what is the highest number of street homeless individuals in the United States, and an independent audit issued in March 2025 found that the authority failed to accurately track billions of Federal and local dollars,” the proposal stated.
