Kona & Mike :

DC actually has quite an extensive resource collection for the unhoused, but they come with rules and regulations that some would rather not abide by. Regardless, it’s hard out there.

Spence :

I did it for a couple months because the shelter wanted me to stay there for two weeks without leaving and I had just started a job. Had to choose my job over housing.

_dayveenah_ :

It’s so many shelters in dc and when its cold they can utilize the shelter hotline a lot of them chose the hospital. As an ems provider we will ask them why did you call 911 would you like to go to a shelter they will straight up tell us no and go sit in the hospital with no real health emergencies

searchtreasure2 :

That’s GW [Power]Hospital I recognize that ER from anywhere

QueenKay💕 :

Are you ok?

Big Leelee :

As an ER Nurse in this city so many don’t want the help stay outside to do drugs and drink and don’t want to go to a lot of these places that offer help because they do come with rules and guidelines… it’s a really big issue…. You can help some people but so much and many just don’t want the help or resources available….

THE INSPO. :

i feel so bad now, i had my baby at GW and kept wonder why it was so many homeless people in the waiting area. i didn’t know they had no where else to go , the comments just taught me that sleeping in the streets is illegal 🫩

Terrance Lindsey :

As they should

Avi❣️ :

Nah dc got it, a lot of those people are drug users and don’t want to obey their laws 🤷🏾‍♀️I see it everyday. Some people be comfortable with their situation, I’ve even seen people turn down help

The One True Tejas :

Unfortunalty people lack skills and motivation to live on their own

user9839226396702 :

There’s no lack of housing and help for the homeless in DC, they allocated $1.1 BILLION for affordable housing and residential services with half of that going specifically for rapid rehousing in 2025. Considering there was about 5000 homeless people estimated in DC in 2025 that’s spending at least $105,000 per homeless person. There’s a lack of homeless people willing to take full advantage of the resources offered to them and a lack of appetite for forced compliance for those with mental or drug issues.

Yaoi King :

That’s a seriously significant issue. We should definitely implement some meaningful changes immediately. It is highly unfortunate that this beautiful continent was damaged and destroyed by raping, racist slave owners who founded the United States. And it is because of that fact, that everything which we hold dear has subtle undertones of racism. From our schools to our hospitals to our language. The black, poison-filled veins of racism creeps up through our pillars of society.
