The Trump administration is upending its homelessness policy, with deep cuts to funding for long-term housing. Instead, it will shift money toward transitional housing that requires work and addiction treatment.

In a statement, the Department of Housing and Urban Development said the new policies will "restore accountability" and promote "self-sufficiency" by addressing the "root causes of homelessness, including illicit drugs and mental illness." It also noted that overall homelessness funding is going up, from $3.6 billion to $3.9 billion.

Seeing as a lot of drug use is due to poor and inadequate housing, I don't know how less housing is going to reduce drug use

See, the thing is, the cruelty is and has always been the point. Gotta keep people afraid of being unemployed. Gotta keep people desperate enough not to strike.

It just keeps people under control and manipulable.
