Amid Huge Budget Deficit, D.C. Sheltering Many Homeless People from Outside City
(Washington Post) — About 10 percent of families receiving emergency shelter in the District live elsewhere – a phenomenon that city officials say they are now noticing in the midst of the city government’s projected $175 million budget deficit.
A study of the rolls at the Virginia Williams Family Resource Center, the central intake center for families seeking emergency housing, showed a significant number of nonresidents using city services, said Clarence H. Carter, human services director.
