Services for disabled Americans, trans youth and refugees feel the squeeze from Trump's early actions
(CNN)— President Donald Trump’s bid to remake the federal government is already affecting some vulnerable populations in the United States, according to nonprofits and health care providers who are grappling with delays in federal funding, new rules and changed guidance.
A 19-year-old West Virginia resident with intellectual disabilities, for example, was not able to start a job at Goodwill on Monday because a nonprofit group that facilitates employment had not received the federal grant money it requested last week.
It was a result of one of the broadest and most head-spinning moves of the second Trump administration’s early days: a sweeping Office of Management and Budget memo ordering a pause on trillions in federal grants, loans and financial assistance.
