In 2026, 2 government and nonprofit organizations have cut a combined 446 jobs, averaging 39.9% of workforce per organization.
Government and nonprofit layoffs in 2026 trace back to funding decisions, not market demand. Public agencies and nonprofits are squeezed by county funding shifts and grant cycles: LAHSA is cutting 284 positions, nearly half its staff, after Los Angeles County pulled its funding into a new county-run homelessness department. Abbott House, a New York child-welfare nonprofit, cut 162 roles as it closed facilities in Westchester and the Bronx.
