#Trump is pushing to institutionalize #homeless people. That may include #veterans
by Quil Lawrence, June 25, 2026
Excerpt: "More than 30,000 U.S. military veterans are homeless, according to the latest government data from an annual one-night 'point in time count.' That number is down significantly in the past decade, which most experts credit to a straightforward combination of robust funding and a philosophy focused on offering housing without prerequisites, called housing first.
"While the Trump administration has promised new housing for vets, President Trump also signed an executive order last year titled 'Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,' which leans heavily toward institutionalizing #HomelessPeople against their will. This winter, NPR obtained slides describing a proposed #VeteransAdministration plan called '#SafeHarbor,' which would include veterans in that shift to involuntary treatment. Then, in March, the VA put out a memorandum of understanding with the Justice Department about state court guardianship for veterans." [!!!]

WTF! #HolbrookMA DPW workers arraigned for allegedly attacking sleeping #homeless man
by Tim Nazzaro, July 9, 2026
HOLBROOK, Mass. — "Two brothers who work for the Holbrook, Massachusetts, Department of Public Works were arraigned Thursday for allegedly attacking a sleeping homeless man in a town park last month.
"Jesse Baxter, 32, of Holbrook, and Jake Baxter, 28, of Randolph, were charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (shod foot), assault and battery on a person over the age of 60, and witness intimidation.
"A not guilty plea was entered on their behalf.
"They were arraigned in Quincy District Court, where a judge set $1,500 bail for Jesse and $500 for Jake.
"Both men are expected to post bail and were ordered to stay away from the victim and #BrookvillePark.
"They will return to court for a dangerousness hearing at a later date.
"Both Jesse and Jake have been placed on paid administrative leave from the DPW.
"According to a Holbrook police report, officers responded to the area of Linwood Street overnight on June 20 for a report of an injured man knocking on residents' doors and yelling.
"Responding officers found the man covered in blood and bruises.
"According to the man, he was sleeping in his tent in the Brookville Park area around 12:30 a.m. when he was attacked by two men he didn't know." [Allegedly, they were there to attack a DIFFERENT homeless man that they had an argument with.]

#Oregon - What homeless are saying as #SalemOR, ODOT clear downtown encampments
by Whitney Woodworth, 7/14/2026
"Kaitlyn Schwartz joined dozens of other campers under the Center Street off-ramp on July 13 in packing up her belongings and figuring out where she would sleep next.
" 'This is not living,' she said. 'We’re only surviving.'
"The 23-year-old said she tries to keep a clean camp and look out for others.
" 'I'm trying to make a difference,' she said.
"While she's young, many people living in the #encampments are older and vulnerable. Schwartz said she's been the target of sexual violence and theft and has witnessed drug overdoses.
"Some people lose everything they own when a sweep occurs.
" 'How is anyone supposed to live like this?' she asked."

From 2024: The Supreme Court says cities can punish people for sleeping in public places
by Jennifer Ludden, June 28, 2024
"In its biggest decision on homelessness in decades, the U.S. Supreme Court today ruled that cities can ban people from sleeping and camping in public places. The justices, in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, overturned lower court rulings that deemed it cruel and unusual under the Eighth Amendment to punish people for sleeping outside if they had nowhere else to go.
"Writing for the majority, Justice Gorsuch said, 'Homelessness is complex. Its causes are many.' But he said federal judges do not have any 'special competence' to decide how cities should deal with this.
" 'The Constitution’s Eighth Amendment serves many important functions, but it does not authorize federal judges to wrest those rights and responsibilities from the American people and in their place dictate this Nation’s homelessness policy,' he wrote.
"In a dissent, Justice Sotomayor said the decision focused only on the needs of cities but not the most vulnerable. She said sleep is a biological necessity, but this decision leaves a #homeless person with 'an impossible choice — either stay awake or be arrested.' "

Meanwhile, in #PortlandOregon...
As It Shutters, Beleaguered Shelter Operator Says All 175 Staff Will Lose Their Jobs
By Andrew Schwartz
April 10, 2026Excerpt: "Late last month, WW reported that two homeless shelters funded by the city Portland would close after the nonprofit contracted to run them shuttered amid allegations of fiscal mismanagement.
"In a WARN notice posted publicly this week, that nonprofit, Sunstone Way, indicated the scale of the impact for its own staff: By the end of June, all 175 of them would lose their jobs.
"In the notice, Sunstone Way HR said it had 'anticipated the city of Portland would continue operating the shelters that Sunstone Way currently operates.'
"Instead, it said, it had just received notice from the city to the contrary. The 96-bed Centennial shelter that Sunstone Way had operated was now expected to close by April 30. A 38-unit pod shelter complex on Northeast Weidler Street in the Lloyd District would close altogether.
"Meanwhile, the letter added, Sunstone Way’s Naito shelter would, after June 30, continue to operate with new management.
"The resulting layoffs encompass a range of vocations. According to the notice filed with the state, workers losing their jobs include a mix of full-time, part-time and on-call shelter staff as well as case managers, office workers, and 41 people in management.
"Sunstone Way’s troubles date back years, WW has reported, and the nonprofit had been losing shelter contracts lately with both the city and Multnomah County. But its problems escalated rapidly in the period before it said it would shutter entirely. "

God, these kinds of headlines piss me off no matter how many times I see them:
"40 percent of people helped by Los Angeles mayor’s $300M homeless project have returned to the streets, report finds"
https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/los-angeles-inside-safe-program-b2952227.html
The headline just leaves readers to assume the reasons for this outcome, which the news outlet has to know will be based on stereotypes of homeless people as "service resistant" and too mad / drug-addicted to be "housing-ready".
(BTW, please pause here to let it sink in how despicable a concept that is, i.e., that some people are "not ready" for a piece of physical space where their body is legally and socially allowed to exist without getting constantly harassed, arrested, evicted on short notice, having their meager belongings routinely stolen, etc.).
In the unlikely event that one actually reads the full article, they will learn, 10 paragraphs down the page, that the actual reasons for the program's relatively poor effectiveness have much more to do with arbitrary and unrealistic expectations baked into its design, as a short-term "interim housing" scheme that does not even attempt to address the underlying problem that there simply is no available housing that is affordable for people with very low incomes:
"UCLA Law School professor emeritus Gary Blasi told the newspaper that there were not enough housing vouchers and low-cost apartments to provide permanent housing for program members, putting the program on [a] track that is 'just not sustainable' and funnels money into expensive motels rather than long-term solutions."

'Numbers have certainly declined': #PortlandME to close shelter for #AsylumSeekers [and homeless people who need shelter during freezing temperatures]

Wed, March 18, 2026Excerpt: "The city also needs to develop a gameplan for a #WarmingShelter by next winter, as this location served as the city’s only #OvernightShelter.
"Allicia Santamore has been living on the streets of Portland for eight years and considers the shelter to be a lifeline.
" 'The warming shelter is awesome for people to sit when its six o'clock in the morning and you got no place to go. You can't stay in your tent no more, it’s f------ freezing,' Santamore said.
"The city says they are talking with Maine DHHS about what to do, but they say it all comes down to funding."

"Street Dog Coalition Provides Free Veterinary Care for Pets That Are Homeless, or at Risk of It"
"The pets at Street Dog Coalition have nearly identical needs to the ones she sees every day in her office …
The one big difference is with the humans, Kimball says.
'The population that we’re serving is so much more appreciative,' she says."

So, what this does NOT address is the issue of staffing, or lack thereof! Maybe let a few unhoused folks live there, and then you'll have some staff! PLUS, the other issue is how far away from the downtown #PortlandME area (5 miles) it is! The same with #MaineNeeds (4 miles), where folks can get tents and clothing. Everything used to be centralized at #PrebleStreet, downtown, but noooo. Can't have homeless folks setting up tents near Whole F*cking Foods, can we?!!
Portland adds criteria to open emergency warming shelter after it failed to open during blizzard
The shelter will now open during blizzard and ice storm warnings, and there are procedures if a forecast changes quickly
by Adam Bartow, Mar 5, 2026
Excerpt: "The decision to activate the warming shelter with less than 48 hours' notice will be determined by the availability of staff needed to safely operate the facility."

WTF! UNACCEPTABLE! If staffing is an issue, then have someone live at the $*&# shelter! Especially if there's weather on the way!
Ask 8 Investigates: Why isn't the #PortlandME warming shelter open tonight?
Despite #blizzard conditions, Portland's emergency #WarmingShelter won't be open overnight Monday
by Norah Hogan, February 23, 2026
" 'While we are not able to activate the warming shelter tonight, we understand the interest in opening the shelter on more #ExtremeWeather nights that fall outside the existing thresholds, and will explore the ability to do this in the future,' said city spokesperson Jessica Grondin. 'We will continue to look for ways to strengthen the model moving forward.' "
BULLSHIT! WHY WASN'T THIS ADDRESSED LAST MONTH!!!

While researching #LemuelShattuck hospital, I came across some stories about how some #TinyHouses set-up in the hospital's parking lot were HELPING with #Homelessness, but were dismantled because the funding ran out... WTF!
Shattuck’s cottage community, a relief to the #unsheltered at Mass. and Cass, to close this summer
By Jason Laughlin Globe Staff,Updated May 8, 2024
"Funding has run out for two Massachusetts housing programs that provide shelter to those who previously lived at the #TentEncampment near the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard [#MassAndCass]. While the state plans to close one, officials are discussing ways to keep the second program open.
"A temporary cottage community on the grounds of Lemuel Shattuck Hospital in #JamaicaPlain will shutter at the end of July, a spokesperson from the state Executive Office of Health and Human Services said. The community is no longer accepting new residents, and the nearly two dozen people housed on the grounds now will be offered alternative housing.
" 'We are committed to ensuring there is no break in services and no break in housing for those who choose to continue forward,' said Deirdre Calvert, director of the Department of Public Health’s Bureau of Substance Addiction Services.
"The cottages’ closure was first reported by WBUR.
"The cottages, which included a bed and small living area for individuals or couples, opened in 2022 amid the opioid crisis that led to a homeless encampment near the intersection known as Mass. and Cass. Since then, the community has sheltered more than 100 people, state officials said. The cottages, administered by Commonwealth Care Alliance, offered support for people in addiction while helping them transition to more permanent housing."
[...]
"The aluminum cottages each have lockable sleeping cabins, storage for residents’ belongings, heating, and air conditioning. People who had been sleeping on the streets told the Globe in 2022 interviews that the little residences offered a welcome oasis of stability."
