A White House plan would make it easier for local officials to force homeless veterans off the streets and into medical or criminal institutions.

President Donald Trump is aiming to fundamentally shift how the country manages homelessness with a new executive order he signed last week. It calls for changes that would make it easier for states and cities to move people living on the street into treatment for mental illness or addiction,

The executive order is focused on removing homeless people from streets across the country, and it comes after last year's Supreme Court ruling that allowed cities to punish people for sleeping outside.
