Today’s press conference with HUD Secretary Carson and USICH ED Marbut is introducing the official new strategy to end homelessness. Finally, a logical plan that focuses on faith, services, and trauma informed care to handle this national catastrophe.

VP-Elect Pence served lunch today at Wheeler Mission in Indy. A real heart for the poor.

Dr. Ben Carson as Sec of HUD? Interesting move. He wouldn't have said yes unless he has a strategy. Brilliant guy. Anxious to see.

[John Ashmen @jashmencitygate]

@realDonaldTrump Ben Carson would be a great choice for HUD. This will be a critical appoint for the people who run city rescue missions.

Amazing stuff happening at Miami Rescue Mission. Huge operation. Three campuses: Miami, Hollywood, and Pompano. Nice visit with 75 staff.

Detroit Rescue Mission Is restoring people & the city. Impressed with their housing efforts. Chad Audi is the mayor's indispensable partner.

Spoke at the dedication of San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission's family center. Fabulous facility.

Way to go, Nikki Haley. Great speech. Good move.

I call on all rescue mission CEOs to publicly condemn the senseless #AMEShooting and to be leaders of reconciliation in our communities.

Since January there have been 210 attempted suicides by youth on the Pine Ridge Reservation--not including the two that happened today.

[John Ashmen @jashmencitygate]

Unprecedented turnout of Lakota leaders at Pine Ridge today—including Chief John Yellowbird Steele. Excellent meeting. Praying for hope.

Good stuff happening at San Diego Rescue Mission. Am very impressed with their 27-bed Recuperative Care Unit.

Just at Union Rescue Mission in Wichita. Met with the leadership team and the board. Spoke to the Rotary Club.
