It's been one year since Trump issued his anti-homeless Executive Order, and since then, the administration has used it as a blueprint for far reaching policy changes that are harming our communities and making homelessness worse. Our statement: homelesslaw.org/statement072…
Florida’s senior homelessness crisis is not a secret.
9,000+ seniors with no homes.
The number keeps rising every day.
We count them.
We fund the counting.
And still… no homes.
The most vulnerable — elderly and disabled — are left outside while the system keeps scoring itself on how well it counts the problem instead of solving it.
Every senior deserves a safe place to call home.
Why are they left to suffer and die in the streets of Florida?

Officer’s Compassionate Lunch Break: Seeing Beyond the Shirt
In Goldsboro, North Carolina, Officer Michael Rivers of the Goldsboro Police Department spotted a homeless woman whose T-shirt read: “Homeless. The fastest way of becoming a nobody.”
He drove past but couldn’t shake the message. Turning around, he asked if she had eaten. When she said no, Rivers bought two pizzas and sat with her on the grass during his lunch break. For nearly 45 minutes, the 29-year-old officer and Michelle shared food and conversation about their lives.
A passerby captured the moment in a photo that quickly went viral. Praise poured in for Rivers’ simple act of treating Michelle with dignity and respect. His police chief applauded the gesture, saying it showed officers are human and ready to serve their community.
What started as a quick patrol stop became a powerful reminder: kindness begins by truly seeing the person in front of you.

Many Christians have prioritized modern comfort and institutional safety over the sacrificial, face-to-face duty of caring for the vulnerable, effectively outsourcing their biblical mandate to a secular state that cannot offer the love and dignity those in need require.
Furthermore, the tragedy of the situation is compounded by the fact that the massive tax burden extracted for welfare is being systematically LOOTED by incompetent or corrupt state bureaucracies, leaving the truly vulnerable to die on the street while billions are funneled into a bloated, ineffective, and fraud-ridden system that serves special interests rather than those in genuine need! 😭😡

The Roman elites (the pauci) caused the poverty they had to "help" by removing the common people's land access. They made people landless so they had to work for the elites to survive, then took a *part* of their takings and ran a big soup kitchen for the poorest. Hooray?

@homeless_law “History will not remember those who criminalized suffering. History will remember those who stood up and fought back.”
Powerful words from Donald Whitehead, Executive Director @nationalhomeless who joined us in protesting the Cicero Institute’s conference on criminalizing homelessness last month.

Criminalization has never solved homelessness, anywhere—because the real solution to homelessness is housing and supportive services that we all need to thrive.

Elon Musk just asked the question every wealthy member of Congress hopes nobody ever asks out loud.
$200,000 salary. $20 million net worth. Nobody has ever had to account for that gap.
Musk: “How’d they get $20 million if they’re earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that.”
Not one committee. Not one hearing. Not once.
Here’s why. The people vote. The bureaucracy decides.
Musk: “We really have here rule of the bureaucracy as opposed to rule of the people.”
And bureaucracy protects itself. The money leaves the Treasury and lands in a nonprofit built the year before.
Musk: “If you have a government-funded nongovernmental organization, you’re simply a government-funded organization.”
Then it crosses a border. It moves through NGOs, other countries, other currencies.
Musk: “NGOs are a way to do things that would be illegal if they were the government, but are somehow made legal if it’s sent to a so-called nonprofit.”
A human tracing that chain gives up around the hundredth transfer.
A machine doesn’t stop at one hundred. Or one hundred thousand.
The Pentagon has failed every financial audit since 2018. Eight years straight. The budget went up anyway. Bureaucracy doesn’t get punished. It gets funded again.
Musk: “Normally, the bureaucracy eats revolutions for breakfast. This is the first time the revolution might actually succeed.”
Not because Washington got honest.
Because something showed up that doesn’t get tired, doesn’t get paid off, and doesn’t stop counting.
Complexity was never a hiding place. It just hadn’t been read yet.

Community living is a right. DOJ’s latest opinion puts that at risk. We will defend Olmstead, the ADA, and the freedom of people with disabilities to live in their communities; not institutions.
We will not go back.

Yesterday I worked at the Navigation Center where I once lived when I was homeless.
Today I’m working at Project Homeless Connect, an event I personally used years ago when I needed help.
One thing that struck me:
The last time I came here as a participant, there was a line of people waiting for services.
Today the building feels almost empty.
It made me wonder: how do people find out about opportunities like this if they aren’t already connected to services?
And how many people are so deep in addiction, mental illness, or simple day-to-day survival that they aren’t engaging at all?
Not because they don’t need help.
But because they’re no longer in a position to seek it.
It’s something I’ve been thinking about all day.

We spend the most money on homelessness when recovery is least likely, and the least money when recovery is most likely.
That may be because homelessness progressively damages the brain systems required for recovery.

This is Richard Webb. He's my father-in-law. He served two tours in Vietnam as a Marine Recon Sniper. He received two purple hearts for his service along with countless other medals.
This photo is seven years ago...
Today, Richard spends most days not knowing what the hell is going on because he developed type 2 diabetes from agent orange in Vietnam.
My wife has been fighting the VA for over a year to get Richard the care and benefits he needs just to survive. The process is a joke. The service is a bigger joke.
The VA case managers are absolute dog shit and treat our nation's heroes like garbage. They also act as if they're doing our vets a FAVOR for the most basic of care.
@SecVetAffairs, I've been to your headquarters building in DC, and have first hand experience dealing with the incompetent staff.
This is hands down the most embarrassing department in all of the Trump administration. If the Boss knew how horrendously our veterans are still being treated after you've had eighteen months to fix these issues, you'd be fired tomorrow.
I waited a long time to write this, but at this point I've seen enough.
