Administration seeks to make it easier for people with mental illnesses to be involuntarily committed

While it is unclear precisely how the White House plans to enact these actions, it instructs federal agencies to crack down on public drug use, urban camping, and loitering. It also directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to potentially pursue legal action against organizations that run supervised drug consumption sites. Harm reduction programs will also be deprioritized. One of the biggest changes would be a shift away from a “housing first” approach to homelessness pursued by the Biden administration.
