San Jose nonprofits, including the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, are facing a loss of up to $8.9 million due to funding cuts from HUD programs. These cuts affect services such as legal aid and education for renters and homeowners. Nonprofits received notice that program funding is uncertain, prompting concerns about pausing vital programs. Despite challenges, the city prioritizes strong outreach efforts to address homelessness and support low-income seniors. Affected funding also jeopardizes the upcoming housing action plans and reliance on previously awarded funds provided by HUD.
Nonprofits that continue such programs do so without the guarantee of future payment. Alternatively, they may pause programs.
We're still prioritizing urgent needs, such as outreach in homeless encampments and meal programs for extremely low-income seniors.
The threat of federal funding cuts also affected the city's 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan on housing, and the use of $23 million in previously awarded funds depends on HUD's approval.
A select set of agreements based on imminent and direct community needs, such as outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness and feeding extremely low-income seniors, will continue with the City assuming costs.
