[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I've heard of people moving from VA and elsewhere and getting a voucher in far less than a year. Also people from encampments that are cleared are offered vouchers right away. [/quote] That's a good point, the website only says you have to have a year of documented homelessness, not that you have to have a year of D.C. residence. If the eligibility requirements are the same as they posted on the site, theoretically you could be homeless in VA or Florida for a year, then move to D.C. to get a free upscale apartment. Maybe for life? I’m still unclear what the endpoint of these vouchers are. The website refers to it as “permanent supportive housing.” As it stands, it looks like the city is announcing that any addicted/mentally unstable homeless individual can move to the city and have the city pay them to live in upscale apartments for the rest of their life. Which seems crazy and obviously unsustainable.[/quote]
