This afternoon, I’m writing to you from the second day of the Alliance’s 2026 Leadership Summit on Ending Homelessness in San Diego. Yesterday, I spoke to leaders from across the country gathered here to be in community while exploring what this moment needs from leaders.
There have been a few key updates in our Continuum of Care Program lawsuit since last week’s CEO Corner, and I want to bring you up to speed on them.
You may remember that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) filed an emergency motion to end the Preliminary Injunction that temporarily stopped the December 2025 CoC Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Last week, the Alliance’s legal team submitted a strong set of arguments in opposition.
And on Friday, the Court ruled in our favor. Specifically, the Court agreed that the Alliance’s members and co-plaintiffs “continue to face imminent, irreparable harm.” Based on the Court’s Friday ruling, the Preliminary Injunction remains in place.
However, yesterday HUD formally appealed the Court’s decision and asked an appeals court to suspend the Preliminary Injunction while their appeal is heard.
I want to assure you that this was expected, and that we will continue to work around the clock with our co-plaintiffs and legal counsel (even while in San Diego) to put forth another strong set of arguments in opposition by Thursday.
Despite the challenges, our time in San Diego has boosted our hope for this mission, and our belief in the strong leaders that make up this community. On behalf of the Alliance’s staff and board, we thank you for all that you do.
