Thanks for your reassuring comments. If u r that close to the issue I will defer to your positive ideas. I unfortunately recall the horrible places on NY Ave where the families lived. Homeless hotels that were horrible. In addition I always fear for the greed
and corruption of some of the “plans” that r given to private programs through grant proposal. They were notoriously corrupt in their allocation of funds to housing. So I don’t think we should ever have that back. <br>

<div><font color="black" size="2" face="arial">I work at DC DHS (although not on the homeless side). As Joanne said, there will be 8 emergency shelters across each Ward of the city. You can see both the plan and the progress here:
<a href="https://dcdhs-fsa.github.io/DCGeneral/">https://dcdhs-fsa.github.io/DCGeneral/</a>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To be sure, there is still much to be done. But in all my time at DHS, I have never heard that the goal is to "hide families". Quite the contrary, by closing DC General, which should be celebrated, families in need of emergency shelter are in smaller
structures, with rich resources, across the city.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would also invite those who are critical to engage. When families exit shelter, they often move to single family transitional housing. For those who are landlords, there is an opportunity to engage. Many seek training and career advancement. For those
in position of management, there is an opportunity to engage. Many seek enrichment and friends for their and children. For those with children of their own, there is an opportunity to engage.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Again - I am more than happy to chat about both the challenges as well as the opportunities we all have to make DC a better home for all of us.</div>
