So, not even a year after SCOTUS ruled in favor of criminalizing homelessness, the Trump Administration wants to worsen the crisis by cutting half HUD’s workforce? All to fund billionaire tax cuts — pushing more people into prisons for simply being unhoused.

Trump is taking aim at the voters who helped elect him in November. Rural Americans are more likely to have limited access to health care and less likely to have private or employer-sponsored insurance, meaning they rely heavily on Medicaid expansion through the ACA, which Trump wants to repeal.
