Most Americans agree that the Trump administration should not cut long-term housing assistance for homeless people. Recent polling reveals deep concern about what will happen as a result of HUD's willful funding delays. See more from National Alliance to End Homelessness - https://tr.ee/fXDV17

This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.
Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Today’s EO on homelessness is shocking in its cruelty (even for this administration). Cutting funding for housing and health while criminalizing homelessness & mental health and substance use problems will lead to endless suffering and worsen homelessness.

Our Great Dane is not scared of fireworks but rather feels it's her duty to bark loudly and persistently at them.
Normally we make her come inside when she's on a barking tear, but tonight we're just letting her go off and drive everybody nuts on behalf of her scared comrades cowering inside.
