permanent housing with supportive services for homeless individuals and families in the District.
The services under the proposed contract are essential to the mission of the Department of Human
Services and ensures the District complies with the right to shelter mandate included in the Homeless

Further, without this contract, the lack of shelter and services would have a catastrophic effect on
over 5,000 of the District’s most at risk and vulnerable residents who rely on these services to survive.
