A Pennsylvania farming nonprofit has joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking to restore frozen federal grants. Pasa Sustainable Agriculture, which works with small farms from Maine to South Carolina, has not been paid for 60 days and is owed $3 million by the Department of Agriculture, according to the complaint. It has drained its reserves to reimburse farmers for expenses they’ve already incurred and furloughed almost all of its staff. Hundreds of small East Coast farms are mothballing planned sustainability projects, and Pasa’s executive director said some small farmers will lose their farms as a result of the federal government’s abandonment of the program. It has joined the Southern Environmental Law Center in trying to compel the government to disburse the contracted funds. (Philadelphia Inquirer — subscription)
The Trump administration has gutted a small agency that coordinates federal homelessness efforts, as its approach to the issue has become another front in the culture wars. Created in 1987, the Interagency Council on Homelessness aims to get people into housing before focusing on issues such as mental health or addiction treatment. “Housing First” used to enjoy bipartisan support, and supporters credit it with cutting homelessness, but now conservative critics say it neglects problems that can land people back out on the street. They also say giving funding priority to such programs unfairly shuts out faith-based providers that focus on treatment. The agency has not been eliminated but rather slashed to the statutory minimum. (New York Times)
