The cheap #health #insurance promoted by Trump officials has a catch.

“There are people who have been living in those units for 5 years, 8 years,” said Ann Oliva, the chief executive of the National Alliance to End #Homelessness, an advocacy group. “No one can wrap their head around the idea that #HUD is about to kick 170,000 #vulnerable people out of their homes. People don’t know what’s about to hit them.”

By cutting #aid for permanent #housing by TWO-THIRDS next year, the plan risks a sudden end of support for most of the people the Continuum places in such housing nationwide, beginning as soon as January. All are #disabled — a condition of the aid — & many are 50 or older [WTF?]. The document does not explain how they would find housing.

US District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. had given #Trump’s admin until Friday to make the #SNAP payments. But Trump’s admin instead asked the appeals #court to suspend any #CourtOrders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund.

In #Utah, #Trump’s Vision for #Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

The proposed site where Utah plans to place as many as 1,300 homeless people outside of Salt Lake City.

State officials promise large-scale #involuntary #addiction & #MentalHealth treatment at Salt Lake City’s edge. Critics see “a prison, or a warehouse.”

[In the campaign video, #Trump accused] #homeless people of turning great cities into “unsanitary nightmares,” he pledged “to use every tool, lever & authority to get the homeless off our streets.” He said the admin would “open up large parcels of inexpensive land” where “dangerously deranged” people “can be relocated & their problems identified.”

While the #Utah effort began before Trump’s return to office, it mirrors his pledge to move the #homeless from urban cores to “tent cities” with *services*. And it accelerated after #Trump issued an EO in July, calling for strict camping bans & expanded power to #involuntarily treat homeless people.

“An accountability center is #involuntary, OK — you’re not coming in & out,” Randy Shumway, chairman of the state #Homeless Services Board, said in an interview. #Utah will end a harmful “culture of permissiveness,” he said, & guide homeless people “towards human thriving.”
[sure, Jan.]

With outdoor sleeping banned, removal to the edge of town may become the only way some #homeless Utahns can avoid #jail. Planners say the facility will also hold hundreds of mentally ill homeless people under #CourtOrdered civil commitment & the effort will include an “accountability center” for those with addictions.

They also vow *stern* measures to move #homeless people to the remote site & #force many of them to undergo treatment, reflecting a nationwide push by some #conservatives for a new approach to #homelessness, one embraced & promoted by #Trump.

In a sharp break with precedent, #Trump has aggressively contested sources of government #data that he thinks casts his policies in a negative light. Last month, after a weak #jobs report, he fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor #Statistics, claiming with no evidence that the data was “rigged.”

The #Agriculture Department said in a statement that the report had become “overly politicized, & upon subsequent review, is unnecessary to carry out the work of the department.”🤯

The department will issue a final report next month covering 2024, based on a survey from last year, but will cease fielding future surveys, according to the statement.

Two months after pushing through #Congress the largest #FoodStamp cuts in the program’s history, the #Trump admin has canceled the government’s annual report measuring household #FoodInsecurity.

The move by the #Agriculture Dept strips the #government of its main gauge of Americans’ ability to access adequate meals, & will impede researchers’ efforts to track the coming #cuts in #nutritional #aid.

#Trump Admin to Stop Measuring #FoodInsecurity

The move strips the government of its main gauge of #hunger in America, & will impede efforts to track the impact of #aid cuts [that’s the plan].
