Homeless INC Protests Changes

Friday afternoon, far-left activists targeted Cicero Institute’s Homelessness Policy Summit in Washington, D.C.

Most of these professional protesters are aligned with Homeless INC and are deathly afraid of losing their gravy train.

That’s because the Trump administration defunded Housing First, one of the greatest public policy failures in American history. It’s made the street crisis worse and cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

But now the vast majority of that money will be flowing into treatment and recovery focused providers.

Discovery Institute and Cicero Institute played a massive role in helping craft the direction of this new approach that will save lives.

We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez, Tom Wolf, and North America Recovers Grant Denton are on the ground right now giving us real-time updates.
