Trump Administration Restores Support for Faith-Based Homelessness Programs After Biden-Era Restrictions

U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared in Los Angeles on Tuesday to announce the Trump administration’s latest push to overhaul the state’s response to the homelessness crisis.

California has long struggled with homelessness, and recent scandals involving taxpayer dollars flowing to troubled nonprofits have intensified scrutiny. The Trump administration announced in June that it would cut off federal funding to Los Angeles.

At a press conference held at the Dream Center, a faith-based nonprofit, Turner told the Daily Signal the administration wants to see actual results—people getting off the streets and receiving treatment.

“What we’re looking for is, we’re looking for the Dream Center and places like the Dream Center that are results-oriented, that have a true continuum of care. The Dream Center does not receive funding that’s passed by the Senate. It’s [funded] by friends, family, churches, private people,” Turner said. “What we’re looking for is what you see here, to bring someone in. Bring them in, house them, put the ax to the root.”

He added, “What is the problem? Why are they homeless? [It is] drug addiction, mental illness. To treat that and then get them healed and transform that to a life of self-sufficiency, that’s what we’re looking for. It’s a new paradigm. … It’s not just housing—it’s not housing first.”
