Please bring:

• Banners that represent your congregation or religious organization
• As many people as possible
• Your prayers for healthcare reform for all

Homelessness among singles and families is on the rise in the District of Columbia. Well after hypothermia season has ended, there are no vacancies in the individual women's emergency shelter system, and the few vacancies in the men's system are far removed from people and supportive services. People with no place to go are being denied shelter and forced to stay in unsafe places. Family homelessness in the District has risen 25% since last year, and over 200 families remain on the wait list for emergency shelter. Meanwhile, the number of available units at D.C. General family emergency shelter is continuously decreasing and the shelter is currently down to 35 units from the 75 it was operating during hypothermia season. This shelter is slated to close even as families report that they are being turned away due to a lack of capacity in the system.
