DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: Aug 28, 2025 at 12 PM PT (3 PM ET)\n\nWhen Donald Trump 
 federalized the Washington, DC police and sent troops into the streets of 
 our nation’s capital, he also destroyed encampments of unhoused people at 
 a time when the rates of unhoused people are increasing across the country. 
 \n\nAs part of the Trump takeover of DC policing, multiple encampments of 
 unhoused people have now been destroyed. President Trump also issued an 
 Executive Order, “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets,” 
 that would deny federal funding to localities that do not enforce 
 anti-vagrancy policies or that utilize “harm reduction” approaches to 
 substance use, and promotes civil (involuntary) commitment of people 
 identified as having mental health or substance use problems.\n\n--What is 
 happening to unsheltered people in Washington, DC? \n\n--What are the 
 likely or actual outcomes of the criminalization of unsheltered people, in 
 DC and elsewhere?\n\nThis is a vitally important issue. One measure, the 
 single-night count of people without housing in 2024 was 771,480, 18 
 percent higher than the year before. The number of people in families who 
 were unhoused jumped by a startling 39.4 percent in that one year. \n\nThe 
 Trump solution is to criminalize people without housing. This webinar will 
 hear from experts who can tell you what’s going on now in DC, and what 
 approaches here and around the country have helped or harmed unsheltered 
 people, and what is really needed now.\n\n\nSPEAKERS - We’ll be joined by 
 national experts, including:\n\n--Moderated by Deborah Weinstein, 
 Coalintion on Human Needs (CHN)\n\n--Donald Whitehead, Jr., Executive 
 Director, National Coalition for the Homeless\n\n--Ramina Davidson, Vice 
 President of Field Strategy and Innovation, National Low Income Housing 
 Coalition\n\n--Marcy Thompson, Vice President of Programs and Policy, 
 National Alliance to End Homelessness\n\n--Barbara DiPietro, Senior 
 Director of Policy, National Health Care for the Homeless Council
