Thanks to @cmfrumin.bsky.social and @chmnmendelson.bsky.social for their leadership in ensuring DC families will NOT return to congregate shelter settings, which have historically posed serious threats to children’s health, well‑being and engagement in school. streetsensemedia.org/article/d-c-...

Thank you @cmfrumin.bsky.social and @chmnmendelson.bsky.social for your leadership on these improvements🌟We hope the @councilofdc.bsky.social will build on these efforts in the final budget to ensure more DC families can access stable housing and safe homeless services.
Some highlights:
✅Increased ERAP and vouchers for families
✅Funding to expand non-congregate family shelter
✅Guardrails and restrictions on use of shared sleeping spaces for families (Subtitle K)
Thank you also to @cmfrumin.bsky.social for efforts here
