Thank you to all of the #Ward3 neighbors who came out to my #CommunityOfficeHours today! It was wonderful to speak with each of you. My next community office hours will be held on October 25 in #Ward6 at the Southwest Neighborhood Library from 2-5pm.

"...No indication that anyone has been harmed." I beg to differ. We talk about trauma a lot but not often in the context of victims. Harm is experienced every time someone hears a gun shot and wonders where the bullet is going to land. Every student, parent, teacher, resident

D.C. does little when some in supportive housing behave dangerously wapo.st/488lxNo

It's important not to stereotype housing voucher recipients - many just need help to afford a decent place to live. On the other hand, it would be wrong to deny that some are a threat to their neighbors. The Post reports that the city looks the other way. wapo.st/46UM93l

Please plan to attend this important #Ward3 public safety forum at 6 pm next Wednesday, January 17, at Cleveland Park Library. I’ll be joined by MPD Chief Pamela A. Smith, US Attorney Matthew Graves ... (1/2)

When Adrianne Todman was the Exec Director of DCHA, she started the policy of vast overpayments for units rented with housing vouchers. hudoig.gov/sites/default/…

Adrianne Todman to run HUD following the Fudge resignation?

It's great to see this The Washington Post story about second-hand smoke in DC apartment buildings. However, it omits the fact that DCHA and the Bowser admin *incentivize* landlords to look the other way when residents smoke in non-smoking buildings. (1/3) washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…
