Currently, how many shelters are located in each of the eight wards? Which wards are over loaded or meeting the needs of the homeless as opposed to those not meeting the needs as much. Those not meeting the needs as much, need to step up. Do you have OR can you obtain those statistics?? We need those actual figures. What do you think??

Subject: [WardFive] RE: URGENT! Meeting Tonight (Monday 2/22/2016) to discuss Ward 5 Homeless Shelter Location
Dear Ward 5 neighbors,
Approximately a week ago Mayor Muriel Bowser first shared details about her plans to replace DC General Family Shelter with the homeless shelters in each of Washington, DC's eight wards, including building a facility in a heavily industrial area at 2622 25th Place NE in Ward 5. Since then many residents noted the oversaturation of homeless shelters in this neighborhood already and expressed deep concern about housing families in a facility closer to a strip club than a grocery store.
On Monday, February 22 at 6:30pm, neighborhood association leaders will host a Ward 5-wide community meeting with Council Member Kenyan McDuffie about the homeless shelter location. Residents will have an opportunity to share their concerns with the proposed location and participate in a transparent process to identify dignified and residential sites for the District's homeless families. With this community input, we look forward to collaborating with Mayor Bowser to select a more suitable site for Ward 5.
Meeting details are below. Please join us and encourage your neighbors to come as well!
