From ACLU Rhode Island:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
"New Certification Requirements Threaten Critical Services for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Survivors, LGBTQI+ Youth, and Unhoused Communities.
A nationwide coalition of domestic violence, sexual assault, housing, youth, and homelessness organizations filed a lawsuit today in U.S. District Court in Rhode Island, challenging the Trump-Vance administration’s sweeping and unlawful conditions placed on federal grant funding from the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These new funding restrictions target diversity, equity, inclusion, and transgender rights, putting life-saving services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, LGBTQI+ youth, and unhoused communities at risk."
