Housing First and Harm Reduction Cut

Democratic State Rep. Nicole Macri is in a unique position. She’s an elected official in WA, but is also the #2 at the Downtown Emergency Service Center.

DESC is the face of the homeless industrial complex and has benefitted handsomely housing people with taxpayer dollars.

Her buildings are under heavy scrutiny after Trump signed an executive order last week that pretty much cuts off federal funding from non-profits that still subscribe to Housing First and “harm reduction.”

I caught up with Macri earlier this year after my WH sources told me what was going to happen. It’s all come to fruition and more radical changes are on the way. Lives will be saved.
