WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the Trump Administration’s newest Executive Order on Homelessness, CEO Shaun Donovan made the following statement:

“The president is right to assert that our record level of homelessness is a national crisis. And we know what it takes to end homelessness: affordable housing and community-based supports that help people thrive with dignity and autonomy. From his first days in office, President Trump said he was committed to addressing the housing crisis as a top priority. Unfortunately, this executive order focuses on enforcement and criminalization instead of focusing on investments in the needed tools and services necessary to end homelessness once and for all.”
