[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A social worker or other services won't make a difference in their behavior.  They aren't living under their supervision.  The DC government, including their social workers behave and talk just like the voucher tenants.

They need to re-house them in a special community of high rises with police, mental health doctors, and drug counselors.  This way they are contained in their own community away from the public.

HUD only requires 2 contacts a month from a social worker, 1 in person. The voucher tenant has no obligation to even open the door.

There are a lot of details in this piece, the Post has written a lot on this issue. Start with the series on Sedgewick Garden from 2019. There are all sorts of ideas that would be an improvement but that are contravened by HUD. Some are policies or approaches the city could change.

Over time the buildings become overpriced private public housing but without the rules, guards and social workers who have some control. [/quote]
