Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs
January 27, 2025
This harmful and illegal memo from the temporary head of the Office of Management and Budget puts an indefinite pause on billions, possibly more, in congressionally approved funding that supports people in every state in the country. This could pause research on cures for childhood cancer, halt housing and food assistance, shutter domestic violence and homeless shelters, close suicide hotlines, block funding for schools, shutter essential services for small businesses like workforce training and childcare programs, and more.
