该决议还要求将1680亿美元国防开支重新分配，以终结无家可归现象，并赋予无家可归者上网和乞讨的权利

密歇根州联邦众议员、民主党人拉希达·特莱布上周提出一项法案，将大幅扩大无家可归者的权利，并通过从国防开支中挪用数十亿美元，彻底改变政府对待街头流浪美国人的方式。
这部《无家可归者权利法案》呼吁政府在未来三年内进行干预以终结无家可归问题，并为无家可归者推出十余项保护措施。
若该法案获得通过，特莱布提出的立法将涵盖无家可归者在公共空间的行动自由、经济适用房、“可维持生计”的工资、全民医保以及乞讨权。
根据该决议，无家可归者将拥有“不受限制地使用”公共公园、交通设施、公共建筑、卫生间及其他场所的权利——这意味着他们可以合法在这类公共空间搭建营地。

无家可归者还将被赋予获得互联网接入服务及实现这一目标所需技术的权利。
特莱布的发言人未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求，未说明该条款在实际操作中将如何落实。
尽管该决议不具有约束力，即不具备法律效力，但特莱布的建议表明，如果民主党在2026年中期选举后重新掌控华盛顿政权，左翼将如何推动无家可归政策的变革。
不过，特莱布的提案将赋予无家可归者“免受执法人员、私营企业、物业所有者以及‘有房居民’骚扰”的权利。
具体而言，无家可归者将获得免受从私人财产上“驱逐”的保护，这位密歇根州民主党议员的法案将此类驱逐行为定性为对个人“基本公民权利和人权”的侵犯。
根据美国住房和城市发展部（HUD）当年发布的报告，2024年1月无家可归人口增至77.1万余人，创下有记录以来的最高水平。

特莱布决议中的多项条款似乎直接挑战了2024年最高法院的一项裁决，该裁决允许地方条例禁止在公共财产上露营，使各城市更易于打击无家可归现象。
据美国国家公共广播电台（NPR）报道，该裁决出台后，美国各地已有100多个地方政府禁止无家可归者在公共区域露营。
特莱布的法案尖锐批评了那些禁止“乞讨、闲逛、在帐篷或车辆内睡觉”等与无家可归者相关活动的州和地方政府。
该决议还指示联邦政府到2029年实现终结“无家可归危机”这一难度极大的目标。
特莱布的建议之一是要求特朗普政府挪用至少1680亿美元国防开支，以“永久终结并预防”个人陷入无家可归的困境。
她的决议未具体说明这笔占年度国防开支近20%的资金将用于何处。
“拥有安全居所是一项人权，”特莱布在提出该法案时的一份声明中说道。“每年国会都会通过又一项破纪录的军事预算，特朗普总统今年还要求五角大楼获得1.5万亿美元预算。专家表示，终结我国的无家可归问题只需花费其中的一小部分。”

特莱布的这项法案与前密苏里州联邦众议员、民主党人科里·布什2021年首次提出的决议类似。布什曾是“国会进步党团”成员，目前正在为11月的中期选举中夺回她在圣路易斯的众议院席位而备战。
Rashida Tlaib’s new ‘Unhoused Bill of Rights’ would protect homeless camping

Resolution would also require $168B in defense spending be redirected to end homelessness and grant rights to internet access and panhandling
By Adam Pack, Fox News
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., introduced legislation last week that would significantly expand rights for the homeless and overhaul how the government treats Americans living on the streets by siphoning billions from defense spending.
The “Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights” calls for government-led intervention to end homelessness over the next three years and introduces more than a dozen protections for homeless people.
If passed, Tlaib’s legislation would include freedom of movement for homeless people in public spaces, affordable housing, “livable” wages, universal healthcare and panhandling.
Under the resolution, homeless individuals would have the “right to uninhibited access” to public parks, transportation, facilities, sidewalks, buildings, restrooms and other spaces — meaning they could legally set up camp in such public spaces.

LEFTIST LAWMAKERS WANT TO MAKE HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS A NATIONWIDE CRISIS
The homeless population would also be given the right to internet access and the necessary technology to achieve that.
A spokesperson for Tlaib did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment regarding how that provision would work in practice.
While the resolution is nonbinding, meaning it does not carry the force of law, Tlaib’s recommendations indicate how the left could push for changes to homeless policy if Democrats retake power in Washington after the 2026 midterms.
Tlaib’s proposal would, however, grant the homeless population “freedom from harassment” by law enforcement, private businesses, property owners and “housed residents.”
Specifically, homeless individuals would be given protections against “banishment” from private property, which the Michigan Democrat’s measure characterizes as a violation of an individual’s “fundamental civil and human rights.”
The homeless population grew to more than 771,000 in January 2024, its highest-ever recorded level, according to a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report released that year.

EX-‘SQUAD’ DEM APPEARS TO BE LEANING ON RADICAL ACTIVIST AT CENTER OF DAMNING TLAIB REPORT IN COMEBACK BID
Several provisions of Tlaib’s resolution appear to directly challenge a Supreme Court ruling in 2024 that made it easier for cities to crack down on homelessness by allowing local ordinances to enforce bans against camping on public property.
More than 100 local governments across the United States prohibited homeless camping following the court’s decision, NPR reported.
Tlaib’s measure sharply criticizes state and local governments that have banned “panhandling, loitering, sleeping in tents or vehicles,” among other activities associated with the homeless population.
The resolution also directs the federal government to achieve a long-shot goal of ending the “unhoused crisis” by 2029.
Among Tlaib’s recommendations is requiring the Trump administration to siphon off at least $168 billion in defense spending to “permanently end and prevent” individuals from experiencing homelessness.

Her resolution does not specify what the nearly 20% of annual defense spending would be used for.
“Having access to a safe place to live is a human right,” Tlaib said in a statement upon introducing the legislation. “Every year, Congress passes another record-breaking military budget, and President Trump just requested a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget this year. Experts say it would cost a fraction of this to end homelessness in our country.”

Tlaib’s measure is similar to a resolution first introduced by former Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., in 2021. Bush, a one-time member of “the Squad,” is mounting a comeback bid to reclaim her St. Louis-based House seat in November’s midterm elections.
