This move comes after the president said homeless people are “sick” and are ruining cities.
Matthew Doherty, the executive director of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, was forced out by the Trump administration on late Thursday afternoon, according to a memo he sent to acquaintances on Friday and that was obtained by Slate. He wrote that Friday was his last day leading the independent federal agency. He did not say why he was dismissed. But the move follows signals from the administration that it plans to dramatically change its approach to homelessness.
According to Richard Cho, who was the deputy director of USICH from 2013 to 2016, Doherty “remained true to the bipartisan consensus on what is the best approach to homelessness, which is Housing First”—which prioritizes placing people in permanent housing so that they can make other improvements in their lives.
The biggest signs of a new strategy may have come from the president himself. “I think [Trump’s] messages have been that liberalism has failed and homelessness in California is the evidence of that,” Cho said. “That kind of messaging is completely contrary to what the evidence shows and a bipartisan consensus extending back to the George W. Bush administration. Left and right agree that law enforcement does not solve homelessness, it just increases the time that people end up in jails.
