I work for a non profit that provides housing to those that have experienced homelessness. But not everyone in the program uses HUD vouchers. This is going to affect so many people who are elderly, disabled, veterans, single parents, and more The effects will be devastating for everyone.

This will have major consequences to our neighbors experiencing homelessness. We are working hard to support our housing and shelter partners who will be stepping in to help.

49.9% of those now being royally screwed, voted for trump... so it's not all bad Another Chicken / Egg conundrum for the weekend - The Establishment will destroy trump Or trump will destroy The Establishment. Place your bets.....

I’ve worked with LMHA, and this process is already time consuming for the staff. This will gridlock, voucher applications, inspections, recertifications, and every process designed to meet compliance.

Don't you understand yet -- Putin is behind this cruelty. He wants people to be so focused on their own survival so they can't participate in protests; and if they have no verifiable address how can they re-register to vote.

There's a myriad of interconnected issues, from zoning to cars as default to financing to redlining to highways to, yes, funding. We're gonna need to take multiple decades to rebuild the US city and it's gonna suck in the meanwhile, and that assumes HUD will have funding for CDBG.

This regime’s violence against our fellow citizens of the world, across the US and beyond, has gone far enough. These people must pay. They expect fear and complacency to work in their favour. This cannot stand. We must stop these dangerous assholes and the billionaires behind them. Unite! Rise up!

Trump makes homelessness worse with the problem-solvers canned. & the price of eggs is around $10. At least he's kept his promise to Putin to surrender Ukraine, so there's that.

Yeah that’s their point. They like the cruelty. They will push for laws outlawing being in public places and then put people in private prisons being paid for by tax dollars. That’s the grift.

"Mental illness", autism, Alzheimer's can b treated safely w turbinate surgery sinceJan'01. Changes blood flow. I found error. MDs damage w meds. MDs/DC dont like my story so wont fix. Torture by MD/exBF at elite US hosp'99 w contrast dye. Good luck out there. US soft on torture. Look under bridges

"Why do we send money overseas to help people when people need help here?" So are the Trump supporters going to protest now when Trump isn't helping our homeless either?

Americans do not stand by the cruelty these MAGA criminals are trying to implement. We do not condone the chaos, the depraved acts, and the disregard for our fellow human beings. WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS PUTRID TAKE OVER.

Oh hey I thought all of the conservatives wanted to get rid of the homeless? Gee what’s the plan now, since I guess we’ll be dumping them out of what little shelter they have and into the streets? Can’t imagine you’ll all like SEEING them MORE heaven forbid.

Cruelty is the point, choas is the point... Billionaires all nestled in their million dollar homes while making homelessness even worse. They are trying to kill off those who need help the most. Maybe tents need to be set up outside these gated homes.

These billionaires did NOT get rich without the help of workers, contractors, delivery folks driving on tax paid highways, .... then when it's time to pay these workers..the usual 'their work was under performed' lie comes out. Rump tower stands on the backs of unpaid workers he stiffed!

If you are reading this, God loves you. He can change your life. I invite you to accept Jesus: "If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9 (NIV) DM me if you have any questions!

...yes but tRump's basically homeless...local ordinance prohibits him from living at Marble-Lago, unwelcome in New York, only wanders through the White House to practice his signature and listen to Leon giving press conferences, so...home is where the heart is, so...HELL?

I give it another month before his base retaliate, especially when Congress slashes these social programs. Republicans aren't the brightest crayons and they thought a vote for trump would affect others, not them. WELL, it's going to affect them much more than urban communities.

As someone who works for homeless services, this will decimate our work. Not just for the people who are homeless & getting into permanent housing, but for those who found jobs in this system and were lifted out of poverty.

I was able to learn a trade (attended carpentry classes during the day, worked at night at tiny house villages), so I felt it my obligation to give back to the community that lifted me up. I am so proud of the work I do. I can't imagine being forced out of my meaningful work. But I'm bracing.

Trump: Homelessness is out of control in this country. It’s disgusting and awful and shouldn’t be that way in our great country. Also, Trump: Let’s fire all the people who work to help those who are homeless.

Yup thats the plan. Stop all support. Make families share residences. make people accept a lower wage, because its better than starving. People will never get the chance to improve their lives. The predatory billionaires are recreating the conditions of the French Revolution.

Listen people I'm losing a lot too because of Trump. My ordeal isn't related to any of this. But it's devastating. But this is what must happen for them to wake up. I know of so many in welfare and HUD who voted for this. And they don't wanna educate themselves so we need to face hard times.

Trump and Leon don't care about the poor, or homeless people. They have lived in a fantasy world since birth, and each have no sense of real world living, or sympathy toward the poor. Leon's family ran from S.Africa. when the African people finally got fed up with the whites treatment of them.

I recall when CA republicans forced a recall vote that wasted taxpayer dollars less than 2 years b4 an election…”due to homelessness” crisis which republicans never cared about before. ESP since their messiah Regan closed all the mental health facilities that houses the mentally ill. I mean…

When the poor end up sleeping on the streets, where camping is illegal, they'll be sent to jail, and work for pennies on the dollar as slave labor for the state. Prison labor is legal under the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits slavery, except as punishment for a crime.

Federal employees need to band together and go on STRIKE. Call in sick for a week or two. You have power and the masses will support you. And those that don’t need to personally feel the impact of no gov: no mail, no SSA checks, no passports, no flights, security reduced, medical trials stopped…

So many people have already died due to this administration's incompetence. How much more suffering must our most vulnerable carry? These actions are reprehensible & more than warrant impeachment.
