Two officials who requested anonymity told the newspaper that they are considering several plans including demolishing homeless encampments, building new temporary facilities and refurbishing existing government facilities.
Judd Deere, a spokesman for the White House said, “Like many Americans, the president has taken notice of the homelessness crisis, particularly in cities and states where the liberal policies are combining to dramatically increase poverty and public health risks. President Trump has directed his team to go further and develop a range of policy options for consideration to deal with this tragedy.”
California is ready to talk if Trump offers serious solutions to homelessness
In a statement, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s spokesman, Nathan Click commented, If the president is willing to put serious solutions, with real investment, on the table, California stands ready to talk. He could start by ending his plans to cut food stamps, gut health care for low-income people and scare immigrant families from accessing government services.”
