[quote=Anonymous]Oy vey. Your ignorance is showing, OP. We have decades of research, data and best practices. A number of jurisdictions--including MoCo--have implemented systems change and effectively ended veteran homelessness. DC's homeless czar is the former director of the US Interagency Council on Homelessness--not some ignorant newbie. You have a big homeless problem in DC for a variety of reasons--primarily because of decades of lack of strategic investment. This plan is a thoughtful and strategic approach. It won't yield results overnight, but it's a giant step in the right direction. It's a bit frustrating and somewhat entertaining hearing criticism from people who simply know nothing about homelessness. I wouldn't pontificate about sports or fashion, but having dedicated my career and pro bono to homeless policy and advocacy I feel like I have the necessary street cred to tell you people to simmer down--give the plan a chance instead of throwing rocks.
