Trump officials target California's homelessness crisis, leaving state officials wary
SAN FRANCISCO — As the Trump administration looks to replace a recently fired Obama appointee tasked with battling homelessness, California officials and advocates are in the dark and bracing for battle.
Around 140,000 people are homeless in California, or about a quarter of the nation’s homeless population. Trump has suggested federal intervention is needed. In it, administration officials argue that housing needs to be deregulated to get costs down, shelters are partly to blame because they delay re-housing, and policing should be ramped up in the interest of public safety.
Roman says helpful measures could include providing access to surplus federal properties for shelter and linking health and behavioral care to housing. “I suppose he could try and get participation from cities to go hardcore and set up camps, but you can’t really force people to go to them,” she says. “You can’t criminalize not having a home, or having a substance abuse problem, but that seems to be an easy out for politicians. It’s an approach that sets us back in the struggle.”
