The horror of homeless deaths in 2025

Homeless memorials are taking place recently all across the nation

By Lynda Carson - December 23, 2025

Homeless memorials are taking place recently all across the nation to honor the poor homeless people who died on the streets, while freezing winter storms blanket the country with ice, hail, sleet, and snow, as the fascist Trump and HUD Secretary Scott Turner threaten millions with homelessness.

The convicted felon Trump administration and Trump’s myrmidon HUD Secretary Scott Turner sabotaged HUD, and have been scheming to dump millions of very low-income families with children from their subsidized housing, including the chronically ill, seniors, veterans, cancer patients, and migrants legally residing in public housing. That’s in addition to those with disabilities, and many others from their HUD subsidized housing units onto the cold hearted streets of America.

HUD funding cuts being proposed by the convicted felon President Donald J. Trump, that seem reasonable and acceptable to his myrmidon HUD Secretary Scott Turner, are placing millions of HUD’s subsidized low-income housing tenants at risk of losing their housing, and becoming homeless.

For more information about HUD Secretary Scott Turner’s catastrophic despicable activities, please feel free to click here. HUD Secretary Scott Turner, a so-called Christian Minister, has betrayed veterans, the poor, elderly, sick and those with disabilities, by placing them at risk of homelessness, and being unhoused.

For all too many, homelessness and being unhoused has become a death sentence, and memorials across the nation pay honor to those who have died out on the cold hearted streets of America.

Meanwhile, there seems to be plenty of money in the federal government to blow up and kill many people in boats without showing proof of any illegal behavior, hijacking oil tankers in an act of piracy, placing the National Guard on the streets of cities under false pretenses to terrorize the population, and to have brutal ICE agents arresting and kidnapping migrants, as well as U.S. citizens before placing them jail.

Just a few headlines further below may help to shed a little light on what is happening to our poor brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers who have been dying on the cold hearted streets of America during 2025, due to high rents, and a lack of affordable, and low-income housing.
