The media learned about Trump's plans to send homeless people for compulsory medical treatment

US President Donald Trump is considering sending homeless people to compulsory mental and drug addiction treatment instead of providing such citizens with social housing. This was announced on March 26 by the CBS television channel.

According to the TV channel, it is planned to place seriously mentally ill people in psychiatric institutions in order to further reintegrate them into society.

"President Trump promises a new approach to ridding the streets of the homeless, forcibly relocating those who live on the streets to large camps, as well as demanding mental and drug addiction treatment," the article says.

At the same time, the United States wants to introduce large-scale funding cuts and a review of taxpayer spending. Trump also called for the opening of new medical institutions in the country, "where homeless people could be resettled and their problems identified."

The main reasons for the increase in the number of people without a fixed place of residence were the high cost of renting housing in the United States, as well as the lack of affordable apartments and an increase in the number of migrants arriving in the country. "Газета.Ru ".
