Homelessness increased because "Housing First" failed. This destructive policy incentivized dependency over transformation. The Trump Administration rejects failure and will invest in programs that promote self-sufficiency with wrap-around services for vulnerable Americans.

Homelessness skyrocketed under Biden, and Housing First failed our most vulnerable Americans. HUD is focused on addressing the root causes of homelessness, like alcoholism, drug addiction, and mental illness, by providing the wrap-around services needed.

The Trump Administration will not find “common ground” with the failed status quo. Our vulnerable neighbors and the American taxpayer deserve better. HUD is moving away from “Housing First” and investing in programs that deliver real results.

I met with kids in Yakima who rely on housing and homelessness programs to keep a roof over their heads. Trump tried to cut these programs by HALF. I said no–and even increased that funding. Let’s build more housing for our kids, not a ballroom for Trump.

Hello from Washington, DC! The federal government overhauled the failed Housing First model. The new HUD FY2026 Continuum of Care NOFO (notice of funding opportunity) requires treatment and recovery services to be integrated into housing programs. No more warehousing people with no accountability. No more taxpayer-funded free housing for life for active drug addicts. Funding has grown from $2B in 2020 to $4.04 billion today — but money alone can’t fix bad policy. This policy shift changes everything: • Providers will now be measured by real outcomes — how many people exit homelessness and reach self-sufficiency. • No more automatic contract renewals (95% used to sail through). Everything is now competitive, scored, and reviewed. • 40% of funding is shifting toward transitional housing with services (up from just 1% before). • Permanent Supportive Housing returns to its original purpose: for those with serious mental and physical disabilities and not active addiction. Faith-based organizations and community groups like We Heart Seattle long boxed out are now IN! None of this would be possible without our incredible volunteers, team, boots-on-the-ground truth-telling, and policy advocacy. Thank you to every supporter who’s stood with us on this journey to save lives and restore Seattle. 💚🙏🏼

“ The battle against DEI, the destruction of wokeness as government policy, that’s a Trump administration victory. Heritage was a heavy force in pushing for that for years before the Trump administration actually did that. And everybody at Heritage deserves enormous credit for having helped to implement that because it was wildly destructive of the American body politic.” - Ben Shapiro

Housing Secretary Scott Turner proudly announces their first Tiny Community for the homeless opening This community will not just be about providing housing but making sure everyone here is mandatory treated for mental illness and drug addiction “They are transforming the way we look and the way we approach homelessness, not just with housing, but to provide wraparound services and to know what the root cause of homelessness is, mental illness, drug addiction, and so forth — Yes, we want to house them, but we also want to treat them with wraparound services to help them to be transformed, to live a life of self-sustainability.”

Senator Jon Ossoff on Iran War: This is a disaster for American foreign policy, for the American economy, for American national security, and for the Trump presidency. I mean, folks, remember that it was on day one of this war that Donald Trump assured us it was running ahead of schedule. And then he lied and lied and lied and declared victory daily, weekly, for weeks. Victory always, either imminent or just around the corner or already secured. And now he is humiliated by the failure of his foreign policy in the Middle East. That has made America less safe. That has cost Americans tens of billions of dollars. That has expended munitions and military equipment. It will take years for us to replace. That has diminished our standing in the world. It will take years to rebuild from this foreign policy failure.

Rep. Jake Auchincloss to Fox: Donald Trump is historically unpopular with a majority of Americans. His character is morally bankrupt and Americans want the leader of this country to be someone they can respect and trust to put the country over self. Donald Trump has demonstrated over and over again he refuses to do that. His second term would be far more dangerous than his first term. Just look at what Project 2025 offers. He will refuse to listen to Congress when it comes to spending decisions. He will turn the Department of Justice into his personal law firm for retribution. He will attack basic services that Americans rely on like Medicare and Social Security and politicize them

CMS Deputy Administrator Chris Klomp: 1 in 4 Americans don’t pick up their prescriptions because they can’t afford it. That’s a moral failure—and that ENDS with Most Favored Nation policy, led by President Trump. It means that we will not pay more for a drug than any other wealthy country, starting now.

NEW: HUD Secretary Scott Turner takes direct aim at America's "homeless industrial complex" and says the the days of "warehousing people" are over. The Trump administration is reallocating federal dollars to tackle the root causes of homelessness like drug addiction and mental illness. This plan could cripple so called Housing First programs that do not require people to find jobs or enter drug treatment. Many of these understaffed facilities under Housing First also trigger the most 911 calls in cities, allow drug use behind closed doors, and attract an inordinate amount of crime to neighborhoods. California and WA are ranked in the top three for overall homelessness in the nation. But elected officials in these states are suing to keep the status quo.

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump refusing to sign the housing bill and canceling the ceremony? Dean: He’s just showing more of his chaotic, petulant, childlike, failed leadership. It’s very upsetting that he holds things up, changes his mind in minutes, and, you know, he’s just very upset because of his failures. His failure with the reflecting pool, which he can’t admit is his failure. His failure with the war in Iran.
