Concerns include:
❌Lack of info about the pilot provided to those living at the encampments
❌ DC can house people without clearing encampments and criminalizing homelessness
❌Residents in the pilot are being prioritized for housing over people who have been waiting for years

Last week I reported on D.C.'s new pilot program to close down three homeless encampments by first getting residents there into housing. Some lawmakers and homeless advocates have concerns about how the pilot will be implemented: https://dcist.com/story/21/09/16/dc-housing-homeless-encampments-foggy-bottom-noma/
