400 of 'most vulnerable' homeless to get apartments
By Sylvia Moreno, The Washington Post – April 3
In an ambitious effort to end chronic homelessness in the District, city officials yesterday announced plans to move 400 of the "most vulnerable" people into apartments by Oct. 1. "We've been very supportive of building affordable housing stock, including permanent supportive housing," said Amber Harding, a staff lawyer at the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless [and 2003 Equal Justice Works Fellow]. "But we hope the mayor will wait to reduce shelter capacity until we actually show that there is a decrease in demand for emergency shelter."
