Homelessness to Become a Crime
January 2, 2020,editor
New measures are being taken to put an end to homelessness in big cities and all across America. The White House is putting forth policies in which are favored among advocates and involve law enforcement. Some of the efforts have seen roadblocks as red f**gs go up, but the charge is still moving forward.
The move may end up coming from an executive order before all is said and done. President Trump said he wanted the streets cleaned up, and they will get cleaned up one way or another. Advocates feel the executive order is inevitable.
The goal is to give the police the resources to remove homeless encampments and strip housing funds from the cities which allow encampments. The White House’s Domestic Policy Council is working together with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to stop cities from receiving funds from the government if they do not want to clean up their streets and use the money for what it is meant to do, put the homeless in homes.
Housing Secretary Ben Carson went to Houston, Texas, and met with officials to get the ball rolling there first in hopes other cities will follow in the footsteps. Carson toured an emergency shelter and a former Harris County jail facility during his stop. HUD officials have also been looking into real estate in efforts to the federal responses to end homelessness. The government is working toward turning former federal buildings and old correctional facilities into homeless shelters.
Washington officials stated HUD made a list to start off with 24 of the biggest cities with the biggest problems of homeless people sleeping in the streets. President Trump has made it his business to embarrass officials who have done nothing and allow people to sleep on the streets. Most of these cities are on the West Coast.
Houston is one on the list which is in the middle of the nation and has made great progress over the years to cut the numbers of homelessness in half. Even though Hurricane Harvey did extensive damage, the numbers are still going down. Dallas, Austin, and other cities have not made much of a difference.
Eva Thibeaudeau, CEO of Temenos, a development corporation which supports housing units in Houston stated, “I hope that what [Carson] takes away is that if you really turn all your resources to permanent housing and ending homelessness, instead of managing the condition of homelessness, it can have dramatic results.”
She continued, “We shifted a lot of dollars out of short-term, temporary, high-barrier projects, and reallocated them all toward permanent solutions. That really is the reason that our homelessness has been driven down.”
Benjamin Hobbs, who is a special assistant to Trump for Domestic policy, stated, “An executive order might not materialize for weeks (if ever). But such an executive action would reinforce the dynamic in Texas, where the conservative governor has sought to overrule the work of liberal leaders in Austin to legalize tent encampments, for example.”
The whole point of stopping encampments is to keep the cities clean. It is not that the people are trash, it is a fact they have trashed the location where they stay. Businesses cannot prosper if a person is sleeping at the doorway of the store. Making it illegal sounds heartless at first, but President Trump and Ben Carson are working together to put these people in shelters or homes. Federal funds have been put in place by the millions of dollars.
Liberals and sanctuary cites are the only ones who support encampments where people literally live on the sidewalks and streets. Their homes consist of cardboard boxes and tents. The grounds are covered in the trash left behind by those who live in these conditions.
Once the system is put in place, it would be at the discretion of the person choosing to live on the street to remain in poverty. They would have to either move into the shelters or the housing developments which are put in place to house them or face fines which they cannot afford to pay or incarceration.
Maria Foscarinis, executive director of the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, told USA Today, “We’re thrilled that the court has let the 9th Circuit decision stand, so that homeless people are not punished for sleeping on the streets when they have no other option.” This is a typical Liberal who would rather see American citizens continue to live in poverty.

Homelessness is not a Crime!!!! There are Major numbers of People who have been forced to live on these Streets and they have no where else to go or any one to help them. I know when i came back from Vietnam,back in the days, I was forced to live on the streets because i could not contact my Family!! for almost 2 years. The Liberals need to get their acts together and help these poor people find a home. Now what do Y'all Think of these poor Homeless People is their any hope for them?

How about the homeless getting prority before the i******s who are crimals who would not be here if we had effective closed boarders.
Those who would like to immigrate legally be investigated prior to application. Some orgaization like Interpol or other groups make sure they are not being thrown out because they are criminals.
Another thought is that congress should look out for citizens and not for themselves if they are legislating for their own interest.
How about giving people who fought for America's benefit getting priority?

Locking them up is not the answer, although it would do some well to be.
The problem IMO has to do with the homeless themselves in many cases...of course i cannot speak for the coasters, but here there are many places for them to take advantage of...the reason they do not is the rules set forth....you cannot be drunk, no drinking, no drugs, no violence....all of the shelters and super low income housing have these rules in place....the homeless will not go for this reason, they lose some freedom....don't get me wrong as i am grouping all into one, there are plenty that are able to follow those rules and move on and up with life, the majority have dependency issues or violent backgrounds.....something needs to change.
Rules would have to change, that would be a paradigm shift for who? us or them?

I was homeless at one point, but only for a month or so. It took me all of 2 days to find a job. Crappy job, but a job. It's not like you gotta make it a career.

My cousin got booted out of his parent's house, he burned his bridges with every member of the family, he is in a halfway house in Grass Valley, it's geared towards helping people get established with a place to sleep, a shower so as to be able to look for a job, etc. Being homeless creates almost insurmountable obstacles to getting back on your feet. Even living in a car can be hard just to find a safe place to park and sleep without getting hassled by police or thugs. I've been there, it's a b***h even getting an entry level job from there.

I see nothing in your post to disagree with, i have had many work for me over the years, entry level with the opportunity to make great money with some experience( starting around 15 bucks, 3 or 4 yrs 30 to 35 bucks in the field)......sadly, maybe 2 or 3 have taken advantage of the opportunity. ..the rest after getting the first check started missing work, within a few weeks they were back into the old rut and not showing up at all.
Something needs to change, whats going on now is not working.
Sshhhh.....don't tell anyone i have a soft spot.....i have an image to uphold ya know
