[quote=Anonymous] "In 1984, after D.C. voters passed Initiative 17, a law guaranteeing overnight shelter to the homeless, the number of families seeking shelter in the city exploded. "As the wave of homeless families flooded the system, the city began placing families at the Capitol City Inn on New York Avenue, which became a shelter so deplorably filled with drug dealing, crack use and contagious illnesses that a D.C. Superior Court judge called it a “hell hole.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2016/02/06/d-c-has-a-long-history-of-housing-homeless-families-in-motels/[/quote]
