I will assume that you are genuine in your belief that Trump or city leaders have any intention of helping people experiencing homelessness. In practice, the only thing that matters to them is to remove homeless people from public spaces by any means necessary. Any rhetoric about doing so for their benefit will not be followed through with. Most people who are homeless are either addicted to drugs which precludes them from participating in programs which require immediate abstinence, or too mentally ill to be helped with the limited funding that will be supplied for their "treatment". It is much more likely that they will be imprisoned indefinitely in a for-profit prison owned by a Trump donor than "helped" in any meaningful capacity.
