Sign the petition: Homeless people need stable housing and resources, not federal camps

HUD, HHS, and Veterans Affairs

In his latest attack on people experiencing homelessness, Trump is now looking into moving homeless communities off the streets and into government facilities, starting with homeless Californians.

Rather than working with Congress to pass comprehensive policies, collaborating with housing advocates and elected officials who are working on community-oriented solutions to end homelessness, or gathering input from formerly homeless people who are now housed, Trump is instead considering razing tent camps and relocating people into a former Federal Aviation Administration building.

As always, the cruelty is the point. Trump’s effort to “crack down” on homelessness is about invisibilizing people he deems to be a burden—and punishing Democratic policymakers in states with large homeless populations because of their “liberal policies.”

In order to make actual change, we must listen to what housing advocates have been saying for decades: affordable, stable housing is the solution to homelessness. The administration’s policies to cut food stamps, erode health care, and terrorize marginalized communities are just making it worse.

People experiencing homelessness need resources, but Trump’s plan doesn’t cut it. We need real solutions.

Sign the petition to the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, and Veterans Affairs: Homeless people need stable housing and resources, not federal camps.

Trump’s potential plan to move homeless people into government facilities is unconscionable. Homeless communities need real solutions, like stable housing, affordable health care, and access to food stamps. Stop treating homeless people like burdens and start working towards comprehensive policies to end homelessness.
