County Executive James R. Williams Issues Statement on Freeze of Federal Funding

James R. Williams, County Executive for the County of Santa Clara, issued a statement on Tuesday, January 28, regarding the Trump administration’s declaration Monday of a freeze on federal funding:

“County services remain fully open, and all residents should continue to utilize County services and programs. We are working urgently to understand and assess the freezing of federal funding by the Trump administration, which is unprecedented, clearly unconstitutional, and extraordinarily harmful. The County relies on federal funding to support numerous lifesaving and essential health care and social services programs, and even short-term interruptions in these programs will have devastating consequences for residents here and across the nation.”
