Trump's latest decree may significantly alter New York City's approach towards homeless individuals. Here are the key points to understand.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order this summer, aiming to dramatically shift the funding of programs for homeless people. The focus of the order is on homeless individuals suffering from mental illness and addiction.

The executive order mandates federal agencies to alter their funding strategies for homelessness programs, with the objective of compeling homeless individuals with mental illness and addiction into treatment facilities. The changes outlined in the order are intended for cities and states to implement.

However, the executive order does not detail any contingency plans for homeless individuals who may resist the compulsory treatment. It also does not specify a timeline for the implementation of these changes or provide details on how the compulsory treatment will be enforced.

Moreover, the executive order does not mention any provisions for the rehabilitation and reintegration of homeless individuals into society post-treatment. It also does not address the potential impact on homeless individuals without mental illness or addiction.

Additionally, the executive order does not provide details on the potential cost implications of the changes. The search results do not provide specific information about U.S. states or cities that President Donald Trump has ordered to compel homeless people with mental illness and addiction into treatment facilities. This appears to be either unavailable or unreported in the provided sources.

President Trump wants cities and states to adopt the changes outlined in the order, encouraging them to focus on homeless individuals suffering from mental illness and addiction. It remains to be seen how these changes will be implemented and what effect they will have on the homeless population in the United States.
