[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one comes to DC because they are homeless. They become homeless because DC is so expensive. MD's numbers have gone down because they don't turn anyone away from shelter in the winter. Go to Miami Beach, where it's warm all year round, and then report back. That's where people actually migrate to if they're already homeless....[/quote] Read the article, and see the light. "D.C. officials attributed the jump to the District's policy of providing year-round access to shelter for families. D.C. is the only jurisdiction in the area where people cannot be turned away from shelter during cold weather, and families never are turned away. While D.C. has a residency requirement for shelters, it rarely results in people from Maryland and Virginia being turned away."[/quote]
