[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Payne has a fairly high population of homeless kids, being so close to DC General. That's where Relisha Rudd was attending when she went missing. [/quote] So in the other threads about the locations for the new shelters there are comments about most of the kids in the DC General family shelter being under 2. Does anyone here know how many attend Payne?[/quote] There are homeless children at Payne but it's not primarily because of DC General. DC encourages homeless families to remain in their schools if doing so provides stability or a support network at the school. DC also provides transportation. The location of the shelters, which are intended to be short term for families, should not be a major factor. The sad truth is that there are substantial numbers of homeless and housing unstable families in DC (doubling up with friends and relatives, domestic abuse, etc).[/quote]
