As a bulldozer crumpled a tent and lifted it into the back of a waiting garbage truck on Monday, some residents of the homeless encampments on L and M Street in NoMa said they weren't moving.
A homeless encampment clearing was paused and the chair of the D.C. Council’s committee that oversees housing is asking for a pilot program to be re-evaluated after an unhoused man was hit by a bulldozer on Monday.Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne Nadeau says she is concerned about the future of a pilot program that will connect some unhoused residents to housing and permanently clear four encampments after the incident.
Her tent, she says, is “my bathroom, my change clothing room, my wash-up rooms and it's my storage,” but she also says she's dealt with rats in her space.
