[quote=Anonymous]DC publishes a census of homelessness every year I think. Not sure it’s fair to criticize the mayor if she was talking about a specific category. The homeless people whose presence bothers the rest of us, because of behavior that feels unsafe or menacing or just like a nuisance, is probably the hardest group to successfully get into housing because they tend to have mental illness and substance abuse problems. The bulk of the homeless count is probably families and single people who are just trying to get back on their feet. Couch surfing, living in temporary shelters or cars. [/quote]
