I’m the WUSA9 reporter on this story and will try to answer any redditors questions. Long story short, the new men’s shelter in SE, at the old St. Elizabeth’s campus, was promised to be a lot of things when it opened January 2022. But we talked to several men who tell us the food is often cold, too little, not enough microwaves to even heat it up, no more lunch available, hard cots, elevators broken for months and extremely close quarters. Things are getting better according to DC Dept of Human Services after we started our investigation in September.
