Amid record homelessness, a Texas think tank tries to upend how states tackle it

There is a record high rate of homelessness in the United States. An annual federal count found some 650,000 unhoused people on a single night in 2023.

The conservative Cicero Institute is working with states to ban street camps, and shift money away from housing to addiction treatment. Homelessness advocates says such moves are counterproductive.
