The overhaul shifts funds to transitional housing requiring work and addiction treatment. The administration says it promotes "self-sufficiency," but critics warn many will risk losing housing again.

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.
