Trump not interested in dealing with homelessness... in fact he actively opposes it

‘Deeply illogical’: this man’s life work could end homelessness – and Trump is doing all he can to stop it

After four decades of research and over a decade of federal support, Housing First’s Sam Tsemberis is ‘back to being an outlaw’ in the US

"In the 1990s, Tsemberis began developing a simple idea: people living on the street want, and should have, safe housing with no strings attached. When you add accessible mental health and addiction services and caring, consistent case management, most stay housed. His research would bear out the idea, showing that Housing First results in at least 85% of people staying housed 12 or 24 months later, depending on the study. These are higher rates than any other approach that’s been studied."

"The idea was and still is not easy to implement because it depends on all the components being present: the apartments, the services and the committed case workers. It also requires believing that unhoused people “deserve” a place to live – a belief abhorrent to the Trump administration and most Maga conservatives."

"When Tsemberis got them back, there were red lines throughout. Among other things, a federal official had deleted sections referencing the idea that racially discriminatory government policy is one cause of homelessness, as well as the terms “harm reduction” and “trauma-informed”, and mentions of Tsemberis being the founder of Housing First. What’s more, the term “Housing First” was deleted throughout."

This is what Trump is all about, making money for the rich, a belief that the rich are somehow a superior group of people who deserve to make all this money and everyone else can go suffer. Why spend money on dealing with problems that you can point at and blame someone else for?

Governments can make the difference, in the US though, those politicians are the ones spreading the word that it's not their job to deal with anything other than enriching themselves.

Most all of the homelessness is caused by democrats in their big cities. Trump can't fix what the libtards do in their own places, which is why there is still an affordability crisis in those same blue areas which have a lot of homeless.
