Today, Donald Trump took yet another step that will make homelessness worse. He signed an executive order that directs states to treat homelessness and mental illness as crimes. These orders, combined with MAGA’s budget cuts for housing and healthcare, will increase the number of people forced to live in tents, in their cars, and on the street.
Please know that the National Homelessness Law Center will use every tool at our disposal to fight back against the growing movement to make it a crime to be homeless and poor in America.
To see firsthand the harm caused by laws aimed at arresting, fining, and criminalizing homelessness, please watch this powerful new documentary from our friends at Invisible People.
Please join our growing movement to fight for Housing Not Handcuffs and demand that Congress pass the Housing Not Handcuffs Act.
