[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are tent cities because [b]poor people can’t afford DC rents[/b] and the housing voucher waitlist has been closed since 2013. Lack of investment in services, shelters, and public housing is what causes tent homelessness. Have compassion. [/quote] This is not why. It's a drug and mental health crisis in 90% of cases. Do you talk to anybody on the street? They've all been offered housing, but they cannot be separated from their people, they do not have freedom to use, they are not ready to be clean or get help or live under the rules so that is why they are still on the street.[/quote]
