TEXT ORDER: Plaintiffs are ordered to file by February 23, 2026 an opposition (if any) to the Defendants' Motion to Dissolve the December 19, 2025 Preliminary Injunctions (ECF No. 89 ). So Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 2/18/2026. (Potter, Carrie)

TEXT ORDER: Before this Court is Defendants' Combined Motion to Dissolve the December 19, 2025 Preliminary Injunctions (ECF No. 89 ). The Court has considered the arguments in Defendants' Motion and Plaintiffs' Responses in Opposition thereto. The Defendants seek to reopen the December 2025 Continuum of Care NOFO in order to solicit and issue awards pursuant to its terms for the third and fourth quarters of the funding cycle and argue that this Court's interim relief enjoining the December 2025 NOFO prevents it from doing so. In support of dissolving the injunction, Defendants assert, among other things, that Congress has eliminated the threatened harms faced by the Plaintiffs that prompted the Court to enjoin the December 2025 NOFO in the first instance. The Court disagrees and concludes that the Plaintiffs continue to face imminent, irreparable harm from: (1) the upheaval and service gaps that would result from the Defendants attempt to vastly overhaul the funding selection criteria on an accelerated basis; and (2) the Defendants' attempt to implement the December 2025 NOFO in light of the Court's prior determination that Plaintiffs have a strong likelihood of success in their action contesting its legality. New York v. U.S. Dep't of Just., 804 F. Supp. 3d 294, 330 (D.R.I. 2025) ("In life-or-death scenariostimes of crisis when someone faces domestic violence, homelessness, or a mental health crisisit practically goes without saying that there can be no do over and no redress if services are unlawfully denied and someone suffers for it. That of course constitutes irreparable harm.") (cleaned up). As a result, the Court DENIES Defendants' Combined Motion to Dissolve the December 19, 2025 Preliminary Injunctions (ECF No. 89 ). So Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 2/27/2026. (Potter, Carrie)

TEXT ORDER: Before the Court is Defendants' Combined Emergency Motion for a Stay of the Preliminary Injunctions Pending Appeal (ECF No. 93 ). The Court has considered the arguments in Defendants' Motion and Plaintiffs' Response in Opposition thereto. Notwithstanding Defendants' failure to appeal the Court's order providing Plaintiffs with injunctive relief, (ECF No. 68 ), Defendants seek a stay of this preliminary relief pending their appeal of the Court's February 27, 2026 Text Order denying their Motion to Dissolve the December 19, 2025 Preliminary Injunctions. Text Order (Feb. 27, 2026). When evaluating whether to stay an order pending an appeal, the Court must consider: "(1) whether the stay applicant has made a strong showing that it is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) whether the applicant will be irreparably injured absent a stay; (3) whether issuance of the stay will substantially injure the other parties interested in the proceeding; and (4) where the public interest lies. Does 1-3 v. Mills, 39 F.4th 20, 24 (1st Cir. 2022) (cleaned up). The Court concludes that Defendants have not met the aforementioned standard. Most notably, the Court concludes that its issuance of a stay at this juncture will substantially injure Plaintiffs by subjecting them to the upheaval and service gaps caused by Defendants' attempt to implement the December 2025 NOFO on an expedited basis. As a result, the Court DENIES Defendants' Combined Emergency Motion for a Stay of the Preliminary Injunctions Pending Appeal (ECF No. 93 . So Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 3/6/2026.(Potter, Carrie)
