USICH Shut Down, Part I: The Demise of USICH. “Long Live The New USICH”

USICH Introduction
Shut Down pt. 2

“USICH Is Demised. Long Live the New USICH”

Greetings team, Shalom!
Before I share the new, great, and significant “game-changing” developments regarding the demise and dismantling of the White House-based US Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) by the Hon. President Donald J. Trump, and subsequent shift in strategy to implement EXODUS II: 2028 LA Initiative, which includes “The New Frontier II” of his “America’s Golden Age-era)

First, allow me to introduce you to Mr. Mark Hooper, founder and leader of Homeless Holistic Haven (3-H 5-1 c3) in Dallas, Texas, along with his partner in the work, Mr. Carlos Amador.

These gentlemen recently discovered online the Justiceville–Dome Village works, including my now 40th anniversary of homeless resolution activism, of which I am very appreciative and thankful to The Most High God for, as it is a sort of vindication of my tenacious, generational efforts.

Additionally, the supportive participation of many non-homeless allies has been instrumental, without whom we could not have survived and succeeded to this point.

Since initially meeting each other, together we have been conducting weekly Zoom sessions to strategize our way into the West Wing of the White House.

With great zeal, Mark Hooper, a US military veteran and Air Force veteran, and Carlos have been working diligently to invite other leaders and their entities from Dallas to Detroit, New York City, and beyond to join us here in LA for EXODUS II: 2028, the LA Olympics Initiative.

Our Organizational Procedure
Via the COP (Civilian Oversight Participants), along with the LA Whirlwind Fires Rescue Business Consortium, including other allies such as  LIRM (Love Is Real Movement) – LIRM Instagram; the Homeless Holistic Haven, et al, Justiceville is offering to execute, implement and complete that which USICH has failed to achieve in its 30 years existence.

While USICH wasted, American taxpayers’ annual cost is $3-4,000,000 on misguided policies, in what will be the newly formed and established, OSMC (Office of Societal Moral Consciousness), similar to DOGE.

We will undertake this task without relying on federal or public funding.

By the direct authority and influence of President Trump, Wall Street and venture capital will fund the office, located in the West Wing, near him, for ready access.

For the sake of government financial efficiency, correctly, the White House-based Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) has been dismantled of its bureaucratic staff, defunded, and rendered into a “suspended animation” mode by President Trump.

Although incapacitated, USICH is not dead; it is merely an empty shell, as only Congress, which established the agency in 1987 with the passage of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, can revive it.  Unless Congress intervenes, USICH will continue, but without funding and staff.

While President Trump has shut down USICH, only Congress can render it inactive, allowing it to remain suspended until October 1, 2028, just two and a half months after the EXODUS II: 2028 LA Olympics Initiative by Justiceville and allies.

Subsequently, as its’ offspring, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), is also defunct, along with many other social services entities looking to USICH for policy and direction to qualify for federal funding.

Essentially, the matter of homelessness resolution is adrift, having no purposeful direction.  This is now our great opportunity to act NOW.

Our growing team of allies from Dallas, to Detroit, Baltimore, New York City, et al, were planning to take over USICH, but thanks to GOD, that a battle we no longer have to wage, but convince President Trum to allow us to handle the matter homeless resolution, having the only basic, strategic national plan in the country.

Take heart. We are very close to achieving our first objective, which is gaining the necessary Presidential authority for the task.

The Demise of USICH

The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) is currently authorized under the McKinney–Vento Act with a statutory sunset provision set for October 1, 2028 usich.gov+8usich.gov+8congress.gov+8. This means that unless Congress takes legislative action to reauthorize or extend the agency, its mandate will fully expire on that date.

---

🗓️ Key Dates & Legislative Efforts

• October 1, 2028 – Current expiration of USICH’s statutory authorization .

• March 11, 2025 – Senate introduced S. 965, titled “A bill to strengthen the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness.” This legislation aims to permanently reauthorize USICH usich.gov+6congress.gov+6en.wikipedia.org+6.

• FY 2025 Budget Proposal – Included a legislative provision to eliminate the sunset date (Section 209 of the McKinney–Vento Act), effectively making USICH permanent .

---

🔍 What’s Coming Next?

• Congressional consideration of S. 965 is underway in the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.

• Reauthorization or sunset elimination must be completed before October 1, 2028, to prevent a lapse in USICH’s statutory authority.

• If S. 965 passes and a final appropriation includes the budget provision to remove the sunset clause, USICH would become a permanent fixture—no longer subject to periodic reauthorization.

---

📌 Bottom Line

• Next renewal deadline: October 1, 2028.

• Legislative momentum: S. 965 (2025) proposes permanent reauthorization; FY 2025 budget proposes also eliminating the sunset.

• Watchpoints: Will the Senate and House pass S. 965—and will Congress include sunset-elimination language in the final FY 2026 appropriation?
