Federal Continuum of Care funding risk
Montgomery County
Summary
Six local homeless services projects face roughly $5 million in federal funding risk amid HUD litigation, affecting over 500 households — including 822 clients, 30% of them children. Staff have contingency funds for three grants expiring this fiscal year but nothing yet for FY28, and the outcome now rests with the courts.

Impact analysis
About $5 million in federal grants at risk, plus roughly $700,000 in county contingency funds already set aside — and a much larger bill if all federal funding disappears.
If funding holds, over 500 households in permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing keep their homes.
If funding lapses, hundreds of households — many children and older adults — could return to homelessness, straining shelters and county services.
