What can the city do for people who are already homeless? |
| The city could build and/or support at least 2,000 new units of supportive housing (housing with access to services) for people who have been homeless for long periods of time and have disabilities and 1,000 new units for working poor people and youth with disabilities.It could provide 3,000 additional affordable units for extremely low-income people. It can replace or upgrade existing shelters. It can re-tool its human services so that employment, mental health, substance abuse and other services are available upon demand. (See the D.C. plan to end homelessness in ten years: Homeless No More.) |
