[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wrong. Putting one in every ward ensures that everyone has skin in the game and should be committed to addressing homelessness effectively. PS - It's also a commonly accepted best practice to spread them out rather than cluster them. The more you know ;0)[/quote] And where exactly are the conclusive studies on that? If DC can't get its act together on providing quality services to the homeless in a location with scale, what makes you think that it will do a better job in replicating/duplicating such services in seven or eight more locations around DC? Moreover, these aren't exactly small, community-based group homes that are being proposed, where there is more possibility of integration within the community They are at least 50-unit shelters housing potentially hundreds of people, with on-site DC security (DC has not explained exactly what for -- what are they protecting the residents from, or the community from?)[/quote]
