When does the Fed get involved in anything and it’s not considered “assistance”?

Pulling Federal Funding isn’t considered assisting, but it can get action out of the State government for the problem.

ETA: why would TRUMP want to funnel more money into something they obviously have no interest in fixing.

Allows mass influx of illegal immigrants into California, blames Trump administration for housing shortage. Sound logic there Gavin

Is their an example in history of a government fixing the homeless problem? Obviously improving the economy would help.

Why is everyone assuming it’s financial assistance? You can only speculate it means dollars

Between zoning, rent control, and environmental policy, make it impossible to add new housing in California, blame Trump Administration for it.


Fixed.

California’s had a housing shortage since well before Trump and will have one well afterward without changing laws and/or policies. Few if any of which have ANY connection to the Feds as opposed to state, county, or muni policies.

What percentage of the homeless, would you guess, has marketable work skill in the evolving economy?
Ballpark guess.

no idea. But this Cali homeless population is more educated than your average I’d say

If that’s the case then it goes to show you that an education doesn’t mean shite anymore.

Kind of depends where one is.

Silicon Valley has some “working homeless” who make good money but work in an area where housing is obscenely expensive.

If the federal government wanted to throw money at this problem the best thing they could do is put money to move these people to places with plenty of jobs and lower cost of living. Even so, this would only help a small percentage because many are addicts and their problems will just move with them. Throwing money at them for rehab isn't effective either because the addicts only recover when they decide to, often after hitting rock bottom.

Moving them to jobs will fail for the exact same reason.
