President Trump has signed an executive order to overhaul the management of homelessness in the U.S., aiming to make it easier for states and cities to remove outdoor encampments and provide mental health or addiction treatment for those in need. The order includes civil commitment for individuals who refuse voluntary treatment. The White House is shifting federal funding away from housing-first policies to prioritize programs that require sobriety and treatment, as well as cities that enforce homeless camping bans. This action follows a Supreme Court ruling last year that allows punishment for sleeping outside even if individuals have nowhere else to go.
