EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
With uncertainty surrounding federal assistance programs, combined with the state’s budget challenges over the past two years, the importance of understanding a chaotic grant funding landscape has never been greater . This report includes a complete list of all municipal grant funding opportunities being tracked by CPPG and an overview of the status of major state and federal grant funding sources.

• California FY 25-26 Budget: The state’s revenue outlook has stabilized after two years of deficits and budget cuts. In June, the State Legislature adopted the FY 25-26 budget and closed a modest $12.3 billion deficit. While the budget bill provides a fiscal framework, the details of specific appropriations are now being addressed through “budget trailer bills.” CPPG is monitoring the trailer bills for information on upcoming grant funding opportunities for FY 25-26.
• Proposition 1: The first competition for Proposition 1’s Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) closed in December 2024. A second and final round (titled “Unmet Needs”) with a pre-application consultation deadline of August 29, 2025.

This is the final funding round for Proposition 1-funded behavioral health infrastructure. • Proposition 4: The state has begun planning and early implementation steps for Proposition 4’s “Climate Bond” programs following adoption of the FY 25-26 Budget.

Listening sessions continue, with initial solicitations for select programs expected to begin rolling out later this calendar year.
• Federal FY 26 Budget: On July 4, 2025, Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), permanently extending key 2017 tax cuts and mandating deep spending cuts across safety-net programs and non-defense discretionary spending caps for FY26 and beyond. The FY 26 budget process is now shifting toward appropriations bills under these new caps, with considerable risk to future grant program funding levels. OMB Director Russell Vought has signaled that a second rescissions package is under active development, creating additional uncertainty around federal assistance resources and grant programs.
• Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL): Absent congressional action to rescind programmed funding, discretionary grant programs funded through the BIL will continue to announce and obligate appropriated funds as required under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 through Federal FY 26. Programs funded through the BIL are at varying stages. CPPG has included information on the remaining BIL funding in the list of upcoming funding opportunities below. While BIL funding has maintained consistent bipartisan support in the Senate, Congress could still rescind unobligated funds as part of a future budget, reconciliation, or recissions package. • Inflation Reduction Act (IRA): Future grant funding opportunities through the IRA are not anticipated at this point in time. Clean energy tax credits for wind and solar facilities will be phased out in December 2027.

Funding Opportunity Highlights: August 2025

Please note: Upcoming federal funding opportunities may be subject to change under the new administration and new Congress. CPPG’s team is actively monitoring for updates regarding the availability of future federal grant programs. The current statuses of impacted federal grant programs are documented in the “Upcoming Funding Opportunities” section.

Federal Action Updates: August 2025

President Trump Issues Executive Order on Federal Grant Oversight: On August 7, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14332 , Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking .

The order imposes new requirements that discretionary grants must advance presidential policy priorities in addition to statutory objectives, establishes political appointee review of funding announcements and awards, and directs agencies to add “termina tion for convenience” clauses to both new and, where legally permissible, existing agreements. Agencies must also require written justification for drawdowns and prioritize applicants with lower indirect cost rates. These provisions mark a fundamental shif t in the grantmaking process, creating heightened administrative burdens for recipients and greater risk of mid-stream termination for awarded projects. CPPG’s memo breaking down E.O. 14332 is available here.

Appeals Court Restricts Standing in Federal Funding Disputes: On August 13, 2025, the D.C.

Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that sharply narrows who can challenge federal funding decisions in court. In the decision, the court held that disputes over executive compliance with appropriations statutes must be directed to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), not the judiciary. This precedent effectively bars states, municipalities, nonprofits, and other grantees from bringing lawsuits against federal agencies for rescinding or withholding appropriated funds. The ruling significantly limits legal recourse for grant recipients , consolidating enforcement authority with GAO, which lacks the power to issue binding remedies. Taken together with the Supreme Court’s recent rulings on injunctions and grant terminations, the decision further constrains options for challenging abrupt or politically motivated funding actions by the administration.

SCOTUS Ruling Narrows Relief for Terminated Grants: On August 21, 2025, the Supreme Court issued a 5–4 ruling in National Institutes of Health v. American Public Health Association, granting a temporary stay that allows the administration to continue withholding approximately $783 million in canceled NIH grants. The decision overturned a lower court injunction that had required NIH to continue funding DEI, gender identity, and COVID-19 research projects, finding that the district court likely lacked jurisdiction to compel ongoing payments and that improperly disbursed funds could not easily be recovered. While the Court did leave in place the lower court’s vacatur of NIH’s internal guidance documents, effectively limiting the agency’s ability to rely on those criteria in future termination decisions, the ruling signals a higher bar for plaintiffs seeking injunctive relief in cases challenging federal funding cancellations. Going forward, state and local governments, universities, and nonprofits may find that remedies for abrupt grant terminations are largely limited to monetary damages rather than reinstatement of funds, potentially further constraining the ability of plaintiffs to preserve funding streams in the face of broad executive action.

Federal Judge Issues Restraining Order Blocking HUD Funding Freeze: On August 26, 2025, a federal district judge in California issued a temporary restraining order halting the administration’s suspension of U.S. HUD funding tied to the Consolidated Annual Action Plan (CAAP). The lawsuit was filed by the City of Fresno, represented by the Renne Public Law Group, arguing that HUD’s freeze on Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds violated the Impoundment Control Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. The dispute arose after HUD, on August 18, gave Fresno only three days to purge its CAAP of any reference to specific words—including equity, environmental justice, and transgender—and to provide written assurances that federal funds would not be used to promote “gender ideology.” The TRO restores immediate access to millions of dollars in housing, infrastructure, and community development resources that had been withheld pending HUD’s review of local compliance with new executive orders. However, the TRO is only the first step—it will be subject to appeal, and this case will very likely be litigated further.

Presidential Memorandum on Grant Fund Misuse: On August 28, 2025, President Trump issued a memorandum directing the Attorney General to investigate misuse of federal grant funds for lobbying purposes. The memorandum instructs the Department of Justice to strengthen enforcement against grantees found to have diverted federal resources for political advocacy, further expanding oversight and compliance risks for states, local governments, and nonprofits. While framed as a measure to prevent lobbying with federal dollars, the breadth of the directive raises concerns that organizations engaged in environmental justice, civil rights, or other issue advocacy that the administration deems “political” could be targeted.

Administration Deploys “Pocket Rescission”: On August 29, 2025, the White House invoked a rarely used impoundment maneuver known as a “ pocket rescission ” to block nearly $4.9 billion in previously appropriated foreign aid. By submitting the rescission request too late for congressional action before the end of the fiscal year, the administration effectively canceled funds intended for peacekeeping operations, global health, and development assistance.

Lawmakers from both parties have criticized the move as an abuse of executive authority and a violation of the Impoundment Control Act . Unless this action is overturned through the courts, future federal aid and grant appropriations may face similar risks of executive clawback without congressional approval.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting Moves Toward Shutdown: Following July’s rescissions package eliminating CPB funding, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced in August that it will cease operations in January 2026. As part of the wind-down, CPB has terminated the $21.6 million Next Generation Warning System (NGWS) grant program, which had awarded 44 projects aimed at upgrading emergency alert and broadcast infrastructure. Without Congressional intervention or a FEMA takeover, significant gaps in public alerting capacity, particularly in rural and disaster-prone areas, are anticipated.

Navigating Uncertainty: Federal Policy Impacts on Funding Information current as of 8/29/2025.

The first year of the second Trump administration has been marked by sweeping administrative actions led by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aimed at freezing federal assistance programs, canceling grant agreements, and rolling back funding commitments across numerous agencies.

Executive Orders: On President Trump’s first day in office, he took action to rescind Executive Orders signed under the previous administration that had a tremendous impact on integrating DEI principles and climate action into the array of discretionary federal assistance programs (aka competitive grants). President Trump followed this initial action with an array of Executive Orders outlining his administration’s policy priorities. Since then, a steady stream of Executive Orders have been issued to reshape the executive branch’s policy directives across a wide range of issues. Relevant Executive Orders that impact federal grant funding include:

• Executive Order 14148, Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions • Executive Order 14151, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEl Programs and Preferencing
• Executive Order 14154, Unleashing American Energy
• Executive Order 14168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government
• Executive Order 14174, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity
• Executive Order 14238, Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy • Executive Order 14287, Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens • Executive Order 14315, Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign Controlled Energy Sources
• Executive Order 14332, Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking

Funding for Sanctuary Jurisdictions: On February 5
th, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a
memorandum to all Department of Justice staff titled “Sanctuary City Directives.” The memo seeks to end the provision of Department of Justice grant funding to state and local jurisdictions that “unlawfully interfere with Federal Law Enforcement Operations” until a review is completed and to “terminate any agreements that are in violation of the law or are a source of waste, fraud or abuse and initiate clawback or reco upment procedures, where appropriate.” Similar action was taken during the first Trump administration, but there is clear precedent from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling during the first administration that the DOJ lacks the statutory authority to impose restrictions on funding allocated by Congress . More information about the legal precedent surrounding this issue is available here in a memo prepared by CPPG. The City Attorney of San Francisco is leading a multi -jurisdictional lawsuit . However, the scope of

injunctions protecting sanctuary jurisdictions will narrow on July 27th as a result of the SCOTUS ruling in Trump v. CASA. Concurrently, the House of Representatives is considering legislation explicitly granting that statutory authority to the administration via H.R.32 titled the “No Bailouts for Sanctuary Cities Act.”

USDOT Funding Priorities: On February 10th, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a memorandum to “reset” the Department’s priorities for discretionary spending programs – which offers us some insight into the administration’s technical efforts to redistribute federal assistance funds. The memo directs staff to prioritize projects and goals that:

1. Utilize user-pay models;

2. Direct funding to local opportunity zones where permitted;

3. To the extent practicable, relevant, appropriate, and consistent with law, mitigate the unique impacts of DOT programs, policies, and activities on families and family-specific difficulties, such as the accessibility of transportation to families with young children, and give preference to communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average (including in administering the Federal Transit Administration's Capital Investment Grant program); s

4. Prohibit recipients of DOT support or assistance from imposing vaccine and mask mandates; and

5. Require local compliance or cooperation with Federal immigration enforcement and with other goals and objectives specified by the President of the United States or the Secretary.

USDOT Directive to Review Pending Awards: On March 11th, the USDOT Office of the Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy (OST -P) issued a directive to all USDOT department heads and administrators "providing guidance on competitive award selections made after January 20, 2021, that do NOT have fully obligated grant agreements or cooperative agreements in place." The directive specifically calls for a project -by-project review of grant awards announced from FY 2022 to FY 2025 that do not have fully obl igated grant agreements to ensure alignment with the current administration's priorities and Executive Orders. The directive outlines a three-step process. The project -by-project will flag project scope elements or activities for potential removal, including:

• Project activities such as equity analysis, green infrastructure, bicycle infrastructure, EV and/or EV charging infrastructure.
• Project purpose or primary project benefits include equity and/or climate such as- projects that purposefully improve the condition for EJ communities or actively reduce GHG emissions.

More information on the USDOT’s planned grant award review process for is available in this memo prepared by CPPG.

Termination of IRA Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Awards: On March 11 th, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the termination of $20 billion in grant award agreements under the IRA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) to capitalize green financing programs throughout the United States. The press release states that “EPA will work to re-obligate lawfully appropriated funds in the GGRF with enhanced controls to ensure adequate governance, transparency, and accountability, consistent with statutory requirem ents.” There are multiple lawsuits filed to challenge the administration’s action, and the EPA’s efforts have been partially stayed pending appeals.

EPA Updates General Grant Terms and Conditions: On March 25 th, the EPA updated the general grant terms and conditions for projects awarded through that agency. Of note, the new terms include language that allows for termination of a grant award “if an award no longer effectuates the program goals or agency prioritie s.” While these terms are not retroactively applied, they would be incorporated into any amendment of an existing EPA grant award—which would then give the agency the ability to terminate any pre viously awarded project that they deem conflicts with the EPA’s priorities under the new administration. This action represents a new tactic in the administration’s ongoing efforts to claw back IRA funding.

Administration Moves to Terminate IMLS Grants: On April 3 rd, the California State Library
issued a press release stating that they had received notice that the administration moved to terminate grant funding made available through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).

Every year, the State Library issued a call for proposals for local libraries to receive LSTA funding.

Virtually all competitive grants programs available through the State Library will be impacted, including Ebooks for All, Community Impact Grants, Teens Succeed, Play for All, and Sustainable California Libraries. Applications for LSTA funding for FY 26 were due earlier this year in March 2025. Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s action, joined by 20 other states. A preliminary injunction granted on May 1 st remains in force, and an appeal is pending in the First Circuit. The California State Library is still reviewing applications for FY 26 funding in the event that the lawsuit is successful or that funding is otherwise restored.

FEMA Terminates BRIC Grant Program: On April 4
th, FEMA announced the administration’s
intention to cancel the Building Resilience Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program.

BRIC provides funding for pre -disaster mitigation projects that demonstrate quantifiable cost savings using FEMA’s Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) models. The administration has stated that they will cease issuing new grant award agreements, end the review of projects submitted to BRIC for funding, and will take steps to cancel any existing award agreements for projects that have not already started cons truction. The administration stated that the $882 million in remaining unobligated BIL funding “ will be returned to the U.S. Treasury or reapportioned by Congress in the next fiscal year.” The announcement of the BRIC program’s termination occurred the same day that Judge John McConnell Jr. ordered enforcement of the injunction against the

administration’s federal funding freeze. This ruling followed a motion filed by plaintiffs in response to other attempts by the administration to terminate FEMA programs , and the administration’s actions to terminate BRIC may similarly be found to violate the injunction. The timing reflects an escalation in the administration’s efforts to circumvent court rulings that block the termination of congressionally authorized and appropriated grant programs. A lawsuit filed by the coalition of 20 “blue state” Attorney Generals was filed July 16th, 2025.

Judge Issues Preliminary Injunction Against E.O. 14154: On April 15th, Judge Mary McElroy for the District Court of Rhode Island issued a ruling enjoining further implementation of the “funding freeze” outlined in Executive Order 14154 (“Unleashing American Energy”). E.O. 14154, issued on day one of the new administration, directed all federal agencies to “immediately pause the disbursement of funds appropriated through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). ” The ruling was consistent with rulings in other cases regarding the OMB Memo that sought to implement a funding freeze across all discretionary funding programs administered by the federal government. This initial freeze was specifically targeted for IIJA and IRA funding.

Administration Eliminates AmeriCorps: On April 16
th, news broke that the administration
executed a mass firing of AmeriCorps volunteers nationwide. AmeriCorps volunteers are assigned to governmental and community -based organizations to conduct a wide variety of service projects, including disaster response , public health initiatives, environmental stewardship, housing construction, support for veterans, job training programs, tutoring, etc.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has introduced the bipartisan Protect National Service Act to block the administration from cutting the AmeriCorps volunteers. However, the bill is currently unlikely to receive a floor vote and, in the event of passage, would face the prospect of a presidential veto.

Future opportunities to seek volunteers and funding through the AmeriCorps service program are not anticipated that time.

New USDOJ Funding Requirements & Priorities: New language inserted into DOJ COPS Office FY25 NOFOs includes conditions that prioritize jurisdictions cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, prohibit funding to state/local LEAs that fail to protect “public monuments,” ban support for schools mandating COVID -19 vaccinations, and restrict fu nding for any activities that promote “gender ideology” or incorporate DEI frameworks. These requirements are expected to be challenged in court and have prompted California’s Attorney General to advise caution in pursuing federal public safety grants at this time.

White House Budget Proposes New Wildfire Agency: The Trump administration’s FY 26 budget proposal includes language establishing a new standalone federal Wildfire Management and Response Agency. This new agency would consolidate wildfire functions from the U.S.

Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and FEMA into a central authority —with a stated goal to “streamline and depoliticize wildfire response.”

EPA Thriving Communities Grants Targeted for Termination: The EPA has begun terminating grant award agreements made under the Thriving Communities Grants program, which includes the Community Change Grant – a landmark investment in community -driven environmental justice initiatives serving disadvantaged communities. The EPA’s actions were ruled unlawful on July 18, 2025, and the EPA is appealing that ruling.

Digital Equity Act Funding Targeted for Termination: Funding for the Digital Equity Act programs under the NTIA is now in limbo, with the administration announcing an intent to claw back unobligated funds and terminate remaining competitions. California’s Digital Equity Plan implementation has been halted pending legal review. California was slated to distribute $70 million in funding for subgrants to local agencies and organizations to advance digital equity work in alignment with the Digital Equity Plan. A lawsuit has been filed by the coalition of 20 “blue state” Attorney Generals.

USDOJ Grants Targeted for Termination: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has flagged over two dozen DOJ-administered programs for likely termination under Executive Order 14151, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEl Programs and Preferencing . Potentially impacted programs include longstanding reentry, behavioral health, community violence reduction, and youth justice programs.

USDOT Review of Green Infrastructure & Bicycle- Focused Projects: Internal USDOT guidance released in March confirms that discretionary grant awards incorporating green infrastructure or bicycle -focused elements are subject to “additional scrutiny.” Projects with primary benefits framed around climate mitigation or environmental justice are being deprioritized unless repackaged to reflect alternative metrics like congestion relief or goods movement efficiency.

Grant Award Agreements Terms: As the Trump administration resumes issuing some grant award agreements for pending projects that awarded under the Biden administration but did not have award agreements executed prior to the transition, one key thing to look out for are the Special Award Conditions (SACs) included in the agreement language. USDOT has issued award agreements that include new provisions related to compliance with federal immigration enforcement efforts and the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. On June 19
th, District Court Judge John McConnell Jr. entered a preliminary injunction prohibiting the USDOT from imposing conditions related to federal immigration enforcement activities as a condition of receiving federal transportation funding.

Legal Challenges on Sanctuary Jurisdiction Funding Eligibility: In late April, District Court Judge William Orrick issued a preliminary injunction in City and County of San Francisco vs.

Donald Trump (2025) , blocking the administration’s efforts to withhold federal funding from sanctuary jurisdictions. Four days later, the Trump administration responded by issuing

Executive Order 14287, Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens . Then, on May 9th, Judge Orrick issued a subsequent ruling that the Executive Order cannot be used to circumvent the injunction. As of mid -June, an appeal has not been filed by the Trump administration in this case and the injunction remains in force while the case is heard.

DHS Issues, then Rescinds, List of Sanctuary Jurisdictions: On May 29 th, the Department of Homeland Security issued a list of counties and municipalities that were deemed to be “sanctuary jurisdictions” covering 37 states. However, facing pushback from Sheriff’s Offices nationwide, DHS took the list down on June 2nd – four days after its publication. The publication of this list was mandated by Executive Order 14287. A full list of California jurisdictions that were named by DHS is available online here.

Administration Plans Phase Out of FEMA: On June 11
th, President Donald Trump stated that
he plans to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) after this year’s hurricane season. Along with the planned dismantling of FEMA, the Trump Administration has signaled its intent to distribute reduce federal funding going forward for post -disaster recovery. A memo issued by Secretary Kristi Noem states that any grant or contract over $100,000 must now be directly approved by the Secretary, according to CNN.

SCOTUS Ruling Reshapes Judicial Landscape: On June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court issued a landmark 6-3 ruling in Trump v. CASA, significantly limiting the power of federal district courts to issue nationwide injunctions. Going forward, injunctions must apply only to the named plaintiffs in a case, rather than blocking federal policy nationwide. The ruling has immediate and profound procedural implications: existing injunctions shielding sanctuary jurisdictions and grant recipients from punitive federal actions will likely narrow in scope, now necessitating the filing of class action lawsuits. The SCOTUS ruling included a 30-day administrative stay to allow litigants in pending cases to reorient cases to the new standards for nationwide injunction.

Existing nationwide injunctions will be narrowed effective July 27 th.

SCOTUS Green Lights Mass Federal Workforce Firings: The Supreme Court’s issued its ruling in the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) vs. Trump case on July 1, 2025, upholding the administration’s claim of broad presidential authority to dismiss federal workers “at will .” This ruling is expected to drive a wave of layoffs across agencies administering key grant programs , including the EPA, FEMA, and the Department of Education . As early as this month, federal departments have begun staffing re ductions in program officer and grants management roles. Municipalities and states should anticipate disruptions, including delays in reimbursement processing, grant administration, and continuity of program officer contacts.

President Trump Signs the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA): On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law after narrow, party -line votes in both chambers of Congress. The legislation makes permanent key tax cuts from the 2017 Tax

Cuts and Jobs Act, adds new tax benefits, and directs new spending on border security and agriculture. To offset these new costs, a requirement of the Senate’s budget reconciliation process, OBBBA imposes deep cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other safety -net programs while significantly reducing non- defense discretionary spending caps for FY26 and beyond. The resulting fiscal blueprint sets up a challenging environment for federal grant funding: reduced overall appropriations levels and intensified competition for limited resources.

President Trump Issues Executive Order 14315: On July 7, 2025, President Trump issued a new Executive Order to accelerate the phase‑ out of IRA clean energy tax credits for wind and solar by directing the Treasury Secretary to issue tighter guidance within 45 days. It builds upon the OBBBA’s proposed phase-outs, imposing stricter “beginning of construction” definitions, limits on safe ‑harbor use, and expanded “ Foreign Entity of Concern” restrictions. The EO also instructs the Department of the Interior to eliminate any preferential policies for renewables compared to dispatchable energy sources like fossil and nuclear power

Federal Court Certifies Nationwide Class Blocking Birthright Citizenship Order: On July 10, 2025, U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante issued a preliminary injunction blocking Executive Order 14160—the order ending birthright citizenship that was at the core of the Trump v. CASA case. Adapting to the new legal landscape, litigants in the new case, Barbara v. Trump, were able to certify a nationwide class of current and future children impacted by the order. This marks the first successful nationwide class certification in the wake of the Trump v. CASA ruling.

USDOT Announces FY25 BUILD Awards: On July 15, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced the FY25 BUILD (Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development) Round 2 awards, marking a return to pre -Biden administration funding priorities with an emphasis on freight, rural infrastructure, and state -of-good-repair projects. California received one award: $22.48 million to the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency to widen southbound SR -65, a project focused on impr oving vehicle throughput and emergency response times. Nationally, BUILD grants favored projects improving highways and bridges over bicycle, pedestrian, or climate -focused infrastructure. Notably, relatively few awards went to jurisdictions designated as Areas of Persistent Poverty or Historically Disadvantaged Communities, marking a shift from prior funding rounds. This pattern reflects the administration’s evolving priorities on infrastructure funding consisten t with its February 10, 2025 memorandum resetting USDOT priorities around user -pay models, family -supportive infrastructure, and immigration compliance

USDOT Official Terminates CA High -Speed Rail Federal Funding: On July 16, 2025, the U.S.

Department of Transportation formally terminated two federal grant agreements with the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA), rescinding nearly $4 billion in unobligated funding previously awarded for the Central Valley se gment. The termination follows the department’s June 4th compliance report which cited persistent non -compliance, missed procurement

deadlines, escalating costs, and an inability to meet the 2033 delivery timeline for the Early Operating Segment. Furthermore, Transportation Secretary Duffy has promised to continue vetting USDOT grant award agreements that have a nexus to the HSR project as potential targets for termination. In response to USDOT’s decision, the Office of Governor Gavin Newsom issued a press release indicating that CHSRA will sue the administration based on their claims that the these terminations were improperly handled and politically-motivated.

Congress Advances Funding “Recission Package” Clawbacks: On July 17, 2025, the House approved an expedited $9.4 billion rescissions package, eliminating funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and clawing back most unobligated USAID funding . The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk for signature. Russell Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, has already signaled plans for a second, larger rescissions package, which may begin targeting unobligated funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA limits the protective reach of district court injunctions, meaning most existing funding injunctions will narrow after July 27 unless converted into class actions. Taken in tandem, these developments portend a significantly more constrained federal funding landscape.
