The order directs federal agencies to prioritize public safety by restoring civil commitment for individuals with mental illness posing risks to themselves or others, and to prioritize enforcement of prohibitions against vagrancy.

It also mandates a realignment of federal funding towards evidence-based programs that address substance abuse, and away from those deemed ineffective. Additional stipulations focus on increased accountability for recipients of federal funding for homeless programs and stricter regulations on housing those suffering from substance abuse or mental illness.

This presidential order revokes Executive Orders 12072 and 13006, which previously mandated that federal agencies prioritize central business districts when selecting office space.

The rationale is that these previous orders hampered cost-effectiveness and efficient government operations.

The Administrator of General Services is tasked with updating related regulations to reflect this change.
