Summary
Friday’s lawsuit asks a court to force HUD to release records tied to changes in a federal homelessness program, according to Democracy Forward Foundation.
The requested documents also cover HUD communications with outside parties and the agency’s termination of Fair Housing Initiatives Program grants, widening the dispute beyond one policy change.
HUD said it would follow the law and defended the underlying changes, saying it gathered more input and support than ever from stakeholders, service providers and local officials nationwide.
The case adds legal pressure on HUD as scrutiny grows over how the agency has handled homelessness policy and fair-housing funding decisions.
