This sudden work stoppage is attributed to funding cuts related to the Department of Government Efficiency. Volunteers were informed they must return home, despite many projects ongoing, such as disaster recovery initiatives. The agency's operational changes align with directives from the Trump administration which have significantly impacted the NCCC's ability to function.
