When Donald Trump federalized the Washington, DC police and sent troops into the streets of our nation’s capital, he also destroyed encampments of unhoused people at a time when the rates of unhoused people are increasing across the country.

What are the likely outcomes of the criminalization of unsheltered people, in DC and elsewhere?

Join the Coalition on Human Needs this Thursday at 3pm ET for a special webinar: Attacks on the Unsheltered: The Trump Administration Targets People without Housing in DC and Elsewhere. Click here to RSVP.

We’ll be joined by national experts, including:

• Donald Whitehead, Jr., Executive Director, National Coalition for the Homeless

• Ramina Davidson, Vice President of Field Strategy and Innovation, National Low Income Housing Coalition

• Marcy Thompson, Vice President of Programs and Policy, National Alliance to End Homelessness

• Barbara DiPietro, Senior Director of Policy, National Health Care for the Homeless Council

According to the 2024 Annual Homelessness Assessment Report released this past December by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the number of people without housing increased by 18% in 2024 to 771,480―with a startling 39.4% jump in the number of people in families who were unhoused.¹

In tomorrow’s webinar, we’ll hear from experts who can tell us what’s going on now in DC, what approaches here and around the country have helped or harmed unsheltered people, and what is really needed now.
