DC Council will vote on new emergency legislation on the COVID-19 public health emergency on Tuesday, April 7th. Check out this post to learn what we know so far. We will update it as necessary with information on the new legislation.

We’re doing our best to stay on top of the many resources available to help people get through the COVID-19 crisis. Check this post for information on both how to get help and how to help.

We will update this post with information about how to access Legal Clinic services, as well as ways to support neighbors and community partners during this rapidly evolving situation.

On January 16th, the District government forced more than 30 of our most vulnerable neighbors out of their homes to create a “pedestrian passageway” during the coldest month of the year, despite the fact that winter weather was forecast for the following days.

We long for the day when no lives will be lost to homelessness. In the meantime, the greatest honor that we can pay to those who died this past year is to re-commit ourselves to doing all that we can to ensure that every District resident has a  place to call home.
