[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not just 221 people, and how in the world do you manage such a program?  Who gets the 50k? Do you have to be a resident if DC to qualify for this 59k, and if so, what are the residency requirements? Many of the homeless are not from DC, but migrated to DC from other areas because of the city’s social welfare programs in comparison to their own. Also, why give the homeless 50k, why stop there. What are the other eligibility requirements? Are new high school or college graduates eligible for the 50k if their parents are no longer obligated to house them and tell them go get your 50k handout from true city and get your own living quarters?

I think this is great. Initially take only the 221 which DC homeless services has identified according to the mayor. Why are you worrying about high school graduates or residency. DC does not require residency for anything else. You can vote here now without being a DC resident. Enroll the 221 in program OP described and how could things possibly get any worse.

Andy by the way, being a college graduate or high school graduate does not make you homeless. With thinking like that, no wonder our city has such intractable problems with no solutions in sight.[/quote]
