“You can’t arrest yourself out of homelessness,” Donald Whitehead ED @NCH
On CNN, National Coalition for the Homeless Executive Director Donald Whitehead delivers an urgent message about the White House’s escalating threats to people experiencing homelessness and the troubling ripple effects now being felt in our nation’s capital.
In this powerful interview, Donald exposes the harmful policies that jeopardize the safety, dignity, and basic human rights of our unhoused neighbors. He calls out both the recent cuts to HUD programs, critical lifelines that fund housing and services, and the growing push, seen in DC’s new ordinance, to forcibly clear encampments and funnel people into institutions against their will.
This is not just a political issue. It is a fight for human lives. The choices made will determine whether we build a society rooted in compassion or one that criminalizes poverty. Watch the video now and share it widely. Our voices matter, and together we can demand housing, dignity, and justice for all.
