💨 Abstract

In 2025, President Donald Trump's administration temporarily cut off access to federal housing grants, disrupting the work of nonprofits like Friendship Shelter in Laguna Beach, which relies heavily on government funding. This disruption is part of a broader trend of rapid cuts and freezes to social service programs, reversing decades of bipartisan support for nonprofits. The uncertainty and reductions in funding threaten the operations of many nonprofits, which often struggle to survive without government grants.
