• The order requires the Trump administration to reinstate more than 1,000 grants, restoring hundreds of millions in congressionally approved funding for community service programs.
• Roughly 30,000 AmeriCorps members who were forced out of service in April must be reinstated if they are willing and able.
• Boardman declined to reverse the agency’s workforce reductions, leaving over 80 percent of federal staff on administrative leave.
• The judge ruled that cutting funding without notice-and-comment rulemaking violated federal law and threatened disaster response and support for vulnerable populations.
