‘Deeply illogical’: this man’s life work could end homelessness – and Trump is doing all he can to stop it

The article discusses the work of Sam Tsemberis, who has dedicated his life to promoting the "Housing First" approach to tackling homelessness. This approach treats housing as a human right and provides permanent housing to homeless individuals without any preconditions. After four decades of research and over a decade of federal support, Tsemberis' work has gained widespread acceptance globally. However, the current US administration is now working to undermine his efforts. The article states that Tsemberis has been "censored by the US government", indicating that the government is actively trying to suppress his work, which it deems "deeply illogical". This suggests a concerning shift in the US government's approach to addressing homelessness, moving away from the evidence-based "Housing First" model that Tsemberis has championed. The article highlights the conflict between Tsemberis' life-long commitment to ending homelessness and the current administration's efforts to hinder his work, presenting a concerning picture of the political challenges faced by those working to address this critical social issue.
