Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets Act
This bill requires federal agencies to incentivize the use of civil commitment (i.e., involuntary psychiatric hospitalization or treatment) to address homelessness, such as through prioritizing grant funding for certain activities and other policy changes. The bill provides statutory authority for many provisions of an executive order issued by President Donald Trump on July 24, 2025, titled Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets.
The bill requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to seek reversal of federal and state court decisions and termination of certain court orders that impede a policy of encouraging the civil commitment of unhoused individuals. DOJ must assist jurisdictions with implementing flexible standards for civil commitment and institutional treatment.
DOJ must also
- review whether entities receiving federal housing funds are operating safe consumption sites (i.e., supervised use of illicit drugs) in violation of federal law,
- ensure that unhoused individuals arrested for federal crimes are evaluated and referred for civil commitment if they are found to be sexually dangerous persons, and
- ensure availability of certain federal funding for state and local governments for encampment removal.
Additionally, the bill requires various agencies to implement certain measures, as deemed appropriate, including
- conditioning participation of certain individuals in federally funded housing and homelessness assistance programs on the receipt of substance abuse treatment or mental health services,
- allowing federally funded housing programs to exclusively house women and children, and
- prioritizing grants for jurisdictions that prohibit urban encampments and squatting.
