More people in Washington, D.C. with mental or physical disabilities have been homeless for at least a year now compared to last year, according to the report from the annual count of homeless people.
Still, local politicians congratulated themselves that the homeless count showed fewer families on the street and in shelters. But it was the federal eviction moratorium, limited as it is, and stimulus spending, which temporarily slowed the spread of homelessness during the pandemic. And city officials don’t count over 2,500 families getting short-term housing vouchers as homeless people, when the reality is these families don’t have long-term homes.
