D.C. Housing Homeless Singles in Two-Bedroom Apartments

The Washington Examiner (4/26) reports, "The D.C. Department of Human Services squandered more than $320,000 by providing two-bedroom apartments to dozens of homeless District residents who lived alone, the city auditor has found. In a report issued this week, D.C. Auditor Yolanda Branche said DHS has placed 69 single-person households into two-bedroom apartments since 2008." The department admitted "that city officials had previously assigned individuals to large apartments, but...said it had ended the practice."
