Protecting Lives, Upholding Rights: A Response to the Executive Order on Homelessness |
Dear Esteemed Partners,
The recent Executive Order on homelessness poses a significant threat to the rights, safety, and dignity of individuals experiencing homelessness. By endorsing forced institutionalization and reducing funding for essential harm reduction programs, it exacerbates an already dire crisis.
Our letter to President Trump and the White House outlines our demands: reverse these detrimental measures, expand affordable housing options, safeguard harm reduction programs, and provide comprehensive mental health services. These evidence-based solutions address the root causes of homelessness rather than punishing individuals for their circumstances. We strongly urge our partners to take immediate action. By signing on to this letter, you join a united front in opposing this Executive Order and conveying a clear message that humane, practical, and just policies must guide the nation’s response to homelessness. Together, we can safeguard the lives, rights, and dignity of people experiencing homelessness and advocate for solutions that truly make a difference.
