(Portland, OR) -- Local nonprofits are sounding the alarm about how President Trump's plan to pause federal grants and loans could affect Portland residents. A pair of Portland-area nonprofits serving domestic violence survivors tell KATU-2 they were unable to access the federal grants that fund their work shortly after the directive went out yesterday. Clackamas Women's Center provides services to domestic violence survivors while Safety Compass helps young survivors of human trafficking and sexual abuse. The White House memo announcing the funding pause claims "the use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve." A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump's plan yesterday.
