Trump highlights that many homeless people struggle with addiction and mental illness, noting the failure of previous government programs to tackle the root causes of homelessness.<\/p>\n<p>The National Alliance to End Homelessness criticized the order, calling it harmful and outdated, notably objecting to forced institutionalization and privacy concerns. Arizona Representative Abe Hamadeh supports the order while acknowledging the need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/education-department-nominee-says-trump-title-ix-changes-let-students-rape-with-impunity\/\" title=\"Education Department Nominee Says ... Title IX Changes Let Students Rape \u2018With Impunity\u2019\">protect due process rights<\/a>. He emphasizes balancing those rights with the safety concerns of communities affected by homeless encampments. Hamadeh also points to local efforts, like the Veterans&#8217; Community Project in Glendale, Arizona, which provides transitional housing and supportive services for homeless veterans through an innovative and compassionate approach. Hamadeh welcomes Trump&#8217;s focus on addressing the underlying issues of mental illness and addiction among homeless populations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Rep.

The Alliance went on to take issue with the order&rsquo;s &ldquo;attacks&rdquo; on housing, the &ldquo;call for forced institutionalization,&rdquo; and the elimination of &ldquo;fundamental privacy protections&rdquo; for homeless people.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Arizona, told The Center Square that he understands concerns about due process rights, adding &ldquo;we must make sure they are never violated.&rdquo; At the same time, Hamadeh said, &ldquo;We must also recognize the rights of our citizens who do not want their neighborhoods swallowed up&rdquo; by homeless encampments.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Earlier this year, I participated in the Veterans&rsquo; Community Project groundbreaking in Glendale, Arizona,&rdquo; said&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hamadeh.house.gov\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hamadeh<\/a>, a former U.S. Army Reserve captain. &ldquo;The project provides transitional housing for veterans who are experiencing homelessness.
