U.S. President Donald Trump is considering a new approach to addressing homelessness, shifting the focus from providing housing to enforcing mandatory treatment for mental illness and drug addiction, according to CBS.
Sources indicate that Trump plans to relocate homeless individuals from city streets to large camps, where they will be required to undergo treatment. This approach marks a significant departure from previous U.S. policies, which for decades have prioritized providing housing for the homeless.
As CBS notes, the White House has not officially announced a policy shift but is exploring initiatives aimed at medical treatment for homeless individuals. At the same time, authorities are working on a large-scale overhaul of housing and social service programs.
