Trump signs Executive Order that will worsen homelessness in DC, violate rights, and waste resources (WASHINGTON, D.C - March 28th) Amidst a national worsening housing and homelessness crisis, Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order that will make homelessness in DC worse, not better.   Trump’s Executive Order directs the Secretary of the Interior to utilize the National Park Service to displace homeless people surviving on federal lands in DC with no plan to house them. Unlike other jurisdictions, the Federal Government controls a high percentage of land in DC, including many small neighborhood parks.

This inhumane ruling, which goes against the values of nearly three-quarters of Americans, will make homelessness worse in Grants Pass and nationwide. [...]
