(Salem, OR) -- Oregon is joining 20 states in a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The lawsuit claims HUD is drastically changing its Continuum of Care grant program in violation of congressional intent. It's placing requirements on the money that only two genders are recognized, residents must accept services before getting housing, and providers are punished for not following strict anti-homeless laws. The suit says those conditions violate the intent of Congress.
