36:06Now PlayingIn this video Jimmy Dore and Food Not Bombs founder Keith McHenry argue that U.S. homelessness policy is driven by a “homelessness industrial complex” that profits from managing, not solving, the crisis, citing California’s large spend and local nonprofit practices.
They criticize Trump’s recent DC encampment sweeps and alleged plan to move unhoused people “far from the city,” warning of displacement, rights violations, conservatorships, and forced medication amid a shortage of shelter beds. McHenry offers Santa Cruz as a case study of misaligned incentives (rebrands, parade spending, “encampment resolution” grants) and says criminalization—tickets, misdemeanor charges for refusing shelter—traps people in homelessness.
The two discuss real, straightforward solutions that include: build truly affordable housing, raise wages, add rent controls, and fund humane addiction and mental-health care, rather than cosmetic sweeps.
