[quote=Anonymous]Many of the problems with DC's homeless aren't being addressed by any of the current proposals - how to deal with substance abuse, mental illness, and the run-down conditions of DC general with roaches, rodents, bedbugs and lice don't magically go away just because you moved people to a shiny new facility. They are currently only talking about facilities, because Mayor Bowser has made real estate deals with crony developers, both for the new sites and parts of the current DC General site. I think council needs to step in, stomp on the brakes hard, and understand that the new homeless proposal doesn't actually do anything but line the pockets of Bowser's friends. Not to mention that it really doesn't meet the needs of homeless families - housing next to strip joints, bus yards, and liquor stores? Come on. The city needs to put together an integrated task force to deal with all of the issues and assess what wraparound services they need.[/quote]
