US push against homelessness is coming
Significance The Trump administration wants to tackle homelessness in the United States. With many of those homeless people in California -- and given the administration’s push to tackle homelessness in California specifically -- the issue came up during the visit, with comments from Trump, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (who called for cooperation) and others. Impacts States and cities are likely to make greater use of local bond issuances to fund tackling homelessness. Homelessness will feature in the Democratic Party’s primary campaigns next year. Tackling homelessness will require handling the problem’s ancillary drivers, such as drug addiction. Any local or national economic downturns will likely be followed by a rise in homelessness.
