White House Memorandum
TO:
The President of the United States
FROM:
Office of National Civic Coordination (Proposed)
Homeless Servant Czar Initiative
SUBJECT:
Establishment of the Councils of We the People (CWP) in Support of the Homeless Servant Czar (HSC) and Revitalized U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH)
DATE:
[To Be Determined]
I. Decision Requested
Approve the establishment of the Councils of We the People (CWP) as a national advisory framework supporting a Presidential appointee designated as the Homeless Servant Czar (HSC) to coordinate federal homelessness strategy through the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH).
II. Strategic Purpose
Homelessness has evolved from a localized social concern into a national coordination challenge affecting:
-
Public safety
-
Veterans’ welfare
-
Economic productivity
-
Urban stability
-
Public confidence in institutions
Federal, state, local, nonprofit, and private-sector responses currently operate in fragmented systems lacking unified strategic alignment.
The proposed structure provides the President with a single coordinating leadership mechanism supported by multidisciplinary national counsel.
III. Concept Overview
The Homeless Servant Czar (HSC) functions as a national integrator — aligning existing authorities rather than creating new bureaucracies.
The Councils of We the People serve as advisory bodies ensuring informed decision-making across all sectors of American life.
Guiding governance principle:
In the multitude of counselors there is safety. (Proverbs 11:14)
IV. Authority Basis
Implementation may proceed under existing authorities including:
-
U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness statutory framework
-
Executive appointment authority of the President
-
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act provisions
-
Federal property disposition authorities
-
Interagency coordination powers of the Executive Branch
No new Congressional authorization is initially required.
