[quote=Anonymous]Before we open more shelter doors I hope they first look at whether those to whom we open doors are even from DC in the first place. I'm fine with taking care of DC's existing homeless, but do we need to take care of the homeless for the entire eastern seaboard? It's enough of an issue that we have well meaning but underfunded organizations that want to bring people here in order to take care of them. It's enough of an issue that we fall victim to some other communities that bus their homeless here (and yes, it's common practice for police to round up homeless and put them on a bus with a one way ticket to the next biggest city). Existing DC homeless families should have first crack. I also think that the city needs to work on finding more ways to get people self sufficient and functional.[/quote]
