Driving the news: “When I am back in the White House, we will use every tool, lever, and authority to get the homeless off our streets,” Trump said in a video posted on his campaign site in August, saying that he’ll work with states to ban urban camping.

• Trump said his administration would offer treatment and other resources for people who are “just temporarily down on their luck” or have less severe mental health issues.
• “And for those who are severely mentally ill and deeply disturbed, we will bring them back to mental institutions, where they belong,” he said, “with the goal of reintegrating them back into society once they are well enough to manage.”

So “every tool, lever, and authority” except building shelters and affordable housing. Because, of course, the homeless themselves are the problem that needs to be fixed, not a symptom of a society that needs to be fixed.
