Is Trumps new executive order going to help or hinder the homeless?

Trump’s new order redirects federal funds to ensure that homeless people are transferred to rehabilitation centers and other facilities.

It sounds good - but I have to wonder what Trump has in mind when he say’sother facilities”. Hitler had homeless people moved to “other facilities” but back then they called them considerations camps. Cheers!

    I'm sure his only goal is to help the unfortunate and it will be done in the same humane and orderly way that undocumented immigrants are being rounded up and detained. His goal is probably not just moving the problem to where rich folks don't have to see it. During his campaign, he talked about building facilities on unused lands outside the cities. I expect he has a plan for increasing the needed resources that are in short supply in urban areas and in even shorter supply farther out. He must also have a plan for keeping them from returning  to areas where they aren't wanted, like fences and armed guards. As for 'concentration camps', a concentration camp is defined as a guarded compound for mass detention without hearing for targeted demographics. Not the same thing...or is it?

    It gets them into the system so they can get the help they need to because a productive member of society.  Or at least not a danger to themselves and/or others. 

    They will get help with drug addiction,  mental health issues, etc.

    I figure part of his plan is to claim certain states (like California) aren't following his order so he will send in the military or nation guard to do it for them. That way he figures he will look like a tuff guy and get back at certain states.  Cheers!
