Pratt's Bold Plan to End Homelessness

Spencer Pratt’s bold homelessness plan is sparking debate: he argues drug addiction—not lack of shelter—is the core issue, proposing a “treatment first” model where housing and funding are conditional on participation in recovery programs. Pratt also vows to slash funding to what he calls a corrupt system of nonprofits and politicians profiting from addiction, while cracking down on public drug use and auditing programs for real results. Supporters like Susan Shelley and Wayne Winegarden see merit—Shelley calls enforcement cost-effective, while Winegarden warns “housing first” is wildly expensive and misses the root cause. If successful, Pratt’s approach could become a national blueprint. Meanwhile, the mayoral race intensifies as Pratt dismisses a recent poll showing him trailing incumbent Karen Bass into next week’s primary.
