Confiscating personal belongings over and over again would be a major scandal if it happened to housed people--but when it happens to homeless folks, it's apparently ok. Thanks to Nicole Santa Cruz Asia Fields and Ruth Talbot at ProPublica for their reporting on this issue.

NEW: Trump plans to revoke long-standing policy restricting ICE from operating at/near sensitive locations. This will impact us all. People shouldn't have to worry about their safety when sitting in church pews, going to the doctor, or picking up their kids at school.

This change allows ICE to target patients at our health centers. This will have tragic consequences for people who will STOP GETTING CARE. NatlHCHCouncil Trump plans to scrap policy restricting ICE arrests at churches, schools and hospitals nbcnews.com/investigations…

“I’m waiting for an ambulance. I might be going into labor. Is that okay?” “You’re being detained because you’re unlawfully camping.” Chilling body cam footage shows police detaining and citing a homeless woman who is in active labor. lpm.org/news/2024-12-1…

Unbelievably cruel. This is how we "protect" women and babies? Glad to join our National Homelessness Law Center partners on this statement. NatlHCHCouncil

🚨 Have you signed our letter urging Congress to protect #Medicaid, which funds around HALF of all Health Care for the Homeless program patients? Let Congress know you won't stand by while they make cuts to life-saving programs. Sign by 1/21: nhchc.org/help-protect-m…

This video from a few years ago is just as relevant today. Trump uses five tactics to create a fog of confusion and bewilderment, so we don't see all the damage he's actually doing. Be aware. Don't allow this fog to cloud the truth.

Disruptions to community health center payments impacts over 30 million patients according to NACHC including people receiving care from health care for the homeless clinics NatlHCHCouncil, clinics in rural and farm communities, and public housing residents.

A court order restored funding but some healthcare providers are still frozen out. These closures are devastating to patients who have nowhere else to turn. Is this what “making America healthy again” is like? Illness and layoffs? ⁦NatlHCHCouncil⁩ newsweek.com/community-heal…

In MD Medicaid pays for services in supportive housing for #homeless folks—these cuts may mean they lose housing as well as health care. Stop the federal cuts to #Medicaid! washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…

It’s outrageous that health clinics in Maine, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan and Virginia are still not getting their funding. This is just irresponsible. ⁦NatlHCHCouncil⁩ Stress and uncertainty as federal health funding system sputters : NPR npr.org/2025/02/08/nx-…

🚨We're alarmed by news that Donald J. Trump plans to displace homeless people in Washington, DC, w/ no plan to house them. This will make homelessness worse, waste money & harm us all. If President Donald J. Trump wants to solve homelessness, he must focus on real solutions: housing & services.

HUD is rolling back protections for trans folks in #homeless shelters. They act like they are solving a problem--but they are only promoting violence, trauma and stigma. This is appalling. Here's the link to HUD's press release: hud.gov/press/press_re…

And they're proposing to call it "Red, White, and Blueland"?? That's both hilarious and stupid. Carter introduces bill renaming Greenland - buddycarter.house.gov/news/documents…

Cutting #Medicaid for poor folks to pay for your rich-guy tax breaks is just heartless and cruel. But to suggest people aren’t *already working* shows your ignorance too. GOP leaders downplay Medicaid cuts as they seek $2T in savings thehill.com/policy/healthc…

Half of all workers have a chronic condition. Doesn’t that show the need for comprehensive health insurance—so that people are healthy enough to work? Workers with chronic illnesses struggle to manage health on job axios.com/2025/02/12/chr…

Just come out and say it: you want #homeless people to die on the street. You deny them housing. You deny them treatment. You arrest them for being present in public. And now you want to arrest their doctor? #cruelty washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/02…

The Chicago HCH was one of the original 19 HCH pilot projects in 1984, funded by ⁦RWJF⁩ and it’s absolutely heartbreaking to see it close. Where will people get their care now? 💔 ⁦NatlHCHCouncil⁩ wbez.org/health-medicin…

At the #HandsOff rally in Hagerstown yesterday and glad to hear Rep. April McClain Delaney speak out against cuts to #Medicaid & other programs. Inspiring to see so many people turnout in solidarity. ✌🏼
