President Trump just signed an executive order on Thursday, calling upon states and cities to end endemic vagrancy.

This was linked to rehousing homeless people, including drug addicts and those suffering from mental issues, in treatment centers.

This order redirects federal funding to prioritize shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the right use of civil commitment.

On average, more than 274k people were found sleeping on the streets every night last year under President Joe Biden, the statement order mentioned.

The document further revealed how there is an overwhelming majority of people who are addicted to drugs and have a mental health disorder or both.

The Federal Government and the States have spent tens of billions of dollars on failed programs that address homelessness but not its root causes, leaving other citizens vulnerable to public safety threats. Trump also complained for years about homeless encampments along major roads in Washington, DC, and proposed reopening insane asylums to house the country’s most dangerous individuals on the street.

As of right now, it’s not immediately clear how much funding would be steered towards this latest initiative or if there would be any parallel efforts to reopen long shuttered institutions, such as public safety strategy.
