Trump STEALS CREDIT FOR DECREASE IN HOMELESSNESS While Championing Criminalization

Brittany Page discusses the Trump Administration's efforts to control the narrative and take credit for the decrease in homelessness for two consecutive years, 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 (a trend that began before he even took office). After delaying the 2025 report until May 2026 in an attempt to give Donald Trump credit for the first decrease in homelessness, Trump's Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released a rushed press release announcing the second-year decrease evident in January 2026's Point-in-Time (PIT) count only after learning two independent organizations were preparing to release the data themselves. Brittany discusses an analysis from the National Alliance to End Homelessness showing a decrease in homelessness for the second consecutive year, underscoring the importance of keeping well-funded housing programs that offer evidence-based practices like Housing-First.
