Spencer Pratt reveals radical plan to rehabilitate LA homeless

A plan is proposed to address homelessness and addiction in Los Angeles by sending homeless addicts to rehabilitation centers located on federal land outside the city. The approach emphasizes that beds alone do not end drug use and that people need sustained support and real solutions. After treatment, individuals would be offered pathways back into society rather than returning directly to areas with high drug activity. The program would be modeled after a veterans career transition facility in Bentonville, Arkansas. Mandatory treatment is presented as necessary, framed as a chance to recover rather than a jail setting. Funding discussions include meetings with wealthy backers and collaboration with top medical professionals.

"“You don't get off these drugs with beds,” he said. “You need support. You need a real solution. And what's happening? We've done it now, what, for 10 years. Their plan does not work. Their experience is complete failure. This is not Spencer saying this. This is every single person with eyeballs driving around LA.”"

"Pratt spoke about obtaining a large piece of land in “beautiful nature” outside Los Angeles to house homeless people and rehabilitate them. “If they want to come back to the city, we have a job for them - not just a bed off Skid Row,” Pratt explained. “They're sober off fentanyl for two days, they go into a bed, they come out right back on to where all the drugs [are]. We need to actually help these people and get that back into society.”"

"Pratt said he wants to model the program after a career transition facility for veterans in Bentonville, Arkansas. “You need to offer people a chance,” he said. Pratt added that the plan is already “in the works” and that he's met with 30 “literal billionaires” to discuss funding the facility. He also said he's going to work with “all the top doctors in the world” to make the project “a shining light of hope.”"

"Pratt also emphasized that mandatory treatment is necessary for addicts. “It's time to radically go in a new direction with mandatory treatment. And it's going to be incredible,” he said. “This isn't like a jail. This is a place where people are going to go and have a chance to come back to society,” he said."
