Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets
Sets a federal strategy on homelessness and public disorder, encouraging the involuntary civil commitment of homeless individuals with mental-illness or substance-use disorders, redirecting federal funding toward treatment over housing-first approaches, and supporting enforcement of vagrancy, camping, and squatting laws.
