In a recent interview, DC Department of Human Services Director David Berns, Washington City Paper’s Lydia DePillis asked DC Department of Human Services Director David Berns whether the city has any plans to decrease and/or re-locate some of the homeless population at Reservation 13. Director Berns replied that the city is working to find more subsidized, affordable housing so that capacity can be reduced at DC General. Sounds like a good plan, but it is going to take time and money. I plan to continue urging the city and DHS to move forward on strategies that will reduce overcrowding at DC General and prepare the Hill East Waterfront for development.
