[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PP is incorrect. People are allowed to self certify in DC without ID.

Upper NW has an area in which vouchers are funded at 187% of HUD market rate, highest in the nation.[/quote]
You are confusing the DC Housing Authority with homelessness services. They are completely separate programs.[/quote]

I'm not confusing anything. It is an overlapping population.

First, how do you know he came from a lower COL area? Second, it costs money to travel. Either you have to have a car and money for gas, or money for a train or bus or plane ticket. Not everyone has that. Then you are assuming that he has a support network wherever he came from that could help him. Not everyone has that.[/quote]

There are a lot of a-hole cops, mayors and sheriffs who pull Greg Abbott stunts like rounding up their homeless in their own town and putting them on a bus with a one-way bus ticket to DC.[/quote]
