Federal Funding to Be Re-Allocated
With even more federal funding cuts on the way, one of the biggest players in WA’s homeless industrial complex is crying poverty. That’s because the days of top executive salaries and zero accountability could be coming to an end.
The Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC) has received millions of taxpayer dollars for pushing the failed Housing First model along with “harm reduction” policies.
But for more than a decade, this approach has led to record homelessness in the region, more crime, and countless drug overdose deaths behind closed doors.
So Trump administration sources are telling me the hammer will finally be dropped on this madness.
Expect federal funding to be re-allocated and pushed toward housing and programs that require drug treatment and recovery models.
A reckoning is finally coming for DESC along with others doubling down on dangerous progressive ideology that’s failing the most vulnerable on the streets.
Correct course before it’s too late. You’ve been warned.
