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 26-27 Budget: In January 2026, Governor Newsom released his proposed FY 26–27 budget totaling $348.9 billion, which the Administration has characterized as a “workload” budget focused on maintaining existing programs while addressing a projected $2.9 billion deficit. The proposal includes few new spending initiatives, with major fiscal and policy decisions deferred to the May Revision. While state revenues have exceeded earlier projections, driven largely by continued stock market gains, the Legislative Analyst’s Office has cautioned that this growth is volatile and has warned of persistent multi-year structural deficits estimated at $20 to $35 billion annually. The budget reflects heightened uncertainty stemming from federal policy shifts, rising baseline program costs, and constitutional spending obligations, all of which are expected to constrain discretionary funding for local governments in the near term. • 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. $3.3 billion of the total $10 billion has been appropriated. Listening sessions continue, with initial solicitations for select programs expected to begin rolling out later this calendar year and into 2026. Another $2.1 billion is proposed to be allocated in Governor Newsom’s January budget proposal. CPPG has prepared a comprehensive overview of the Climate Bond rollout for FY 25-26 and beyond, available here. • Federal FY 27 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. With the FY 26 appropriations process largely completed, Congress is now shifting its attention to FY 27 appropriations.
• Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA): Discretionary grant programs funded through the IIJA, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, 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 IIJA are at varying stages when it comes to obligating the appropriated funding. CPPG has included information on the remaining IIJA funding in the list of upcoming funding opportunities below. While IIJA 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.

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: Since taking office, President Trump has issued a steady stream of Executive Orders reshaping the executive branch's policy directives across a wide range of issues. Most significantly for grant funding, the administration moved quickly to rescind Executive Orders from the prior administration that had integrated DEI principles and climate action into discretionary federal assistance programs. Relevant Executive Orders that continue to govern federal grant eligibility and administration 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
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 shift 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.
1127 11TH STREET, SUITE 300, SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 • 916.974.9270 • PUBLICPOLICYGROUP.COM PAGE 11 Federal Programs Targeted for Termination or Cancellation: The following federal programs have been terminated, canceled, or targeted for termination by the Trump administration. CPPG will continue to monitor litigation and agency actions that may restore access to these programs:
• Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC): Terminated April 2025; reinstated by federal court order March 2026. FY2024 NOFO expected imminently. • IRA Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF): $20 billion in awards terminated by EPA March 2025. Multiple lawsuits filed; partially stayed pending appeals. • EPA Thriving Communities / Community Change Grants — Terminated by EPA; termination ruled unlawful July 2025. EPA is appealing.
• DOE Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs and Clean Manufacturing Awards: Approximately $24 billion in IIJA and IRA awards flagged for termination or suspension October 2025. • Digital Equity Act Programs (NTIA): Administration announced intent to claw back unobligated funds and terminate remaining competitions. California's $70 million subgrant program halted. Multi-state lawsuit filed.
• Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) / State Library Grants: Termination noticed April 2025. Preliminary injunction in force; appeal pending in the First Circuit. • AmeriCorps: Eliminated April 2025. Future funding and volunteer opportunities not anticipated.
• Corporation for Public Broadcasting / Next Generation Warning System (NGWS): CPB funding eliminated in July 2025 rescissions package. CPB announced wind-down of operations; $21.6 million NGWS grant program terminated. • DOJ-Administered Community Programs: Over two dozen programs flagged by OMB for likely termination under E.O. 14151, including reentry, behavioral health, community violence reduction, and youth justice programs. DOJ has resumed issuing NOFO’s for several of these programs in 2026.
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, an d 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 , rescinds unobligated balances of funding appropriated by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and significantly reduces non-defense discretionary spending caps for FY26 and beyond.
Amendments to Federal Grant Award Conditions: The administration has pursued a multi - front strategy to embed new policy requirements directly into federal grant agreements, creating compliance risks for agencies with both pending and active awards. Local governments should be aware of the following developments and carefully review any new or amended federal grant agreement with legal counsel:
1127 11TH STREET, SUITE 300, SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 • 916.974.9270 • PUBLICPOLICYGROUP.COM PAGE 12
• Special Award Conditions (SACs): As the administration has resumed executing grant agreements for projects awarded under the prior administration, new Special Award Conditions have been inserted into agreement language requiring recipients to comply with federal immigration enforcement efforts and to certify the elimination of DEI programs and initiatives. A preliminary injunction issued in June 2025 prohibits USDOT from imposing immigration enforcement conditions as a condition of receiving federal transportation funding, though this injunction remains subject to further litigation and applies only to named parties.
• Updates to Agency General Terms and Conditions: In March 2025, the EPA updated its general grant terms and conditions to allow termination of any award that "no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities." These terms are incorporated into any future amendment of an existing EPA grant agreement or any new grant agreement issued by the EPA. The administration has further attempted to apply these terms retroactively, an issue which is being litigated as a potential violation of the APA. • Termination for Convenience Clauses: Executive Order 14332, signed August 7, 2025, directs federal agencies to add "termination for convenience" clauses to new grant agreements and, where legally permissible, to existing ones. These clauses give agencies broad authority to terminate an award mid-stream if it is deemed inconsistent with current administration priorities, a significant departure from prior grantmaking practice and a material risk for multi-year capital projects.
SAM.gov Certification Requirement Changes: On January 28, 2026, the General Services Administration (GSA) published a Federal Register notice (OMB Control No. 3090 -0290) proposing revisions to the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration requirements for all recipients of federal financial assistance. The proposed rule would embed new government-wide policy certifications into the SAM.gov registration process, requiring entities to affirm compliance with statements related to anti -discrimination law broadly targeting DEI programs, immigration enforcement, and anti-terrorism designations, effectively making these certifications a universal eligibility condition for federal grants, cooperative agreements, loans, and other forms of federal financial assistance. Because SAM registration is a government-wide prerequisite, these certifications would apply across all federal programs simultaneously.
Cities and counties with active multi- year awards face particular risk: agencies renewing their SAM registration before those awards close may be required to accept new representations that did not exist when their grants were originally awarded, creating retroactive compliance exposure and potential liability under the False Claims Act. CPPG recommends that agencies review their SAM.gov registration renewal dates, inventory active federal awards, and consult legal counsel regarding False Claims Act exposure. A detailed memo prepared by CPPG on this issue is available here.
Shifting Legal Landscape Limits on Judicial Relief for Funding Disputes : On June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court issued a 6 -3 ruling in Trump v. CASA , significantly limiting the power of
1127 11TH STREET, SUITE 300, SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 • 916.974.9270 • PUBLICPOLICYGROUP.COM PAGE 13 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 had immediate and profound legal implications: meaningfully narrowing the protective scope of existing injunctions shielding sanctuary jurisdictions and grant recipients from punitive federal actions. Then, on August 13, 2025, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that further constrained legal recourse b y holding that disputes over executive compliance with appropriations statutes must be directed to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) rather than the judiciary, effectively barring broad lawsuits seeking to compel release of appropriated funds. The GAO lacks authority to issue binding remedies, meaning this consolidation of enforcement authority offers limited practical relief to affected grantees. However, the recent successful lawsuit against the termination of the BRIC program demonstrates that judicial relief remains available under the right circumstances. The BRIC lawsuit succeeded in securing the reinstatement of funding because the plaintiff states were named parties, satisfying the Trump v. CASA standard, and because their claims were grounded in the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), challenging FEMA's termination of the program as an unlawful agency action rather than simply asserting a right to appropriated funds. APA claims of this type remain squarely within federal court jurisdiction, and the D.C. Circuit standing ruling does not foreclose them. The practical implication for local agencies is that broad, passive protection from nationwide injunctions is no longer viable, but agencies that are named participants in multi- jurisdictional coalitions asserting well-grounded APA claims retain viable paths to judicial relief.
Funding for Sanctuary Jurisdictions Targeted: In February 2025, 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 clawba ck or recoupment 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 administration followed this with Executive Order 14287, Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens, and in May 2025, the Department of Homeland Security briefly published a list of counties and municipalities across 37 states designated as s anctuary jurisdictions before taking the list down four days later following pushback from Sheriff's Offices nationwide.
Federal courts have consistently blocked the administration's efforts to withhold funding on this basis. A preliminary injunction issued by District Court Judge William Orrick in City and County of San Francisco v. Trump remains in force, and a subsequent ruling confirmed that Executive Order 14287 cannot be used to circumvent that injunction. However, the Supreme Court's June 2025 ruling in Trump v. CASA has meaningfully narrowed the protective reach of these injunctions to named plaintiffs rather than providing broad nationwide protection.
1127 11TH STREET, SUITE 300, SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 • 916.974.9270 • PUBLICPOLICYGROUP.COM PAGE 14 USDOT Funding Priorities: On February 10, 2025, 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 1 1, 2025, 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 obligated 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.
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 funding for any activities that promote “gender ideology” or incorporate DEI frameworks. These
1127 11TH STREET, SUITE 300, SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 • 916.974.9270 • PUBLICPOLICYGROUP.COM PAGE 15 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.
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.
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 segment . 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.
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.
