Officers took notes of where homeless people slept and sat, emails Street Sense obtained via public records request show. After the team of at least three walked the streets of downtown D.C., they created a list of 25 tents, tarps, and benches.</p> 307 308 309 310<p>At least 14 of those sites would be removed by local police in federally-driven encampment clearings the next day, <a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/were-just-trying-to-live-the-first-two-weeks-of-trumps-crackdown-on-visible-homelessness-in-d-c/" type="link" id="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/were-just-trying-to-live-the-first-two-weeks-of-trumps-crackdown-on-visible-homelessness-in-d-c/">displacing over a dozen people</a>. The week that followed â full of sweeps motivated by President Donald Trumpâs hardline stance against visible homelessness â caused confusion and chaos among people experiencing homelessness in the District and changed the reality of living outside.</p> 311 312 313 314<p>While it was immediately clear the closures in August of last year resulted from federal pressure, additional emails from that time obtained by Street Sense shed light on the weeks-long federal influence on D.C.âs homelessness policy, and how that weekâs actions continue to echo a year after the takeover officially ended.</p> 315 316 317 318<p>As jurisdictions across the country pass anti-camping legislation, the White House continues to push for âbeautificationâ and criminalizing sleeping outside through executive orders and funding decisions. In the District, long-standing, multi-tent encampments have been eradicated as single-person encampment clearings have skyrocketed. As Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Wayne Turnage <a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/federal-encampment-closures-hearing/" type="link" id="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/federal-encampment-closures-hearing/">said during an oversight hearing earlier this year</a>, D.C. has shifted from maintaining encampments to closing them, with <a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/encampment-updates-d-c-is-on-track-to-close-twice-as-many-encampments-in-2026-than-in-2025/" type="link" id="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/encampment-updates-d-c-is-on-track-to-close-twice-as-many-encampments-in-2026-than-in-2025/">the District on track to close twice as many encampments</a> in 2026 as in 2025. The impact of the two-week crackdown on visible homelessness last summer lingers. And so do questions about what actually happened.</p><div class="text-center mb-4"><a href="https://streetsensemedia.networkforgood.com/projects/68459-primary-donation-form" class="btn btn-blue font-headline rounded-5 px-4 py-3 font-size-14">Street Sense has no online paywall to keep our articles accessible.<br/>If you enjoyed this one, donate to our journalism here.</a></div> 319 320 321 322<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> 323 324 325 326<p><br>Federal interest in homelessness in D.C. began months before the takeover. On March 28, 2025, Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/making-the-district-of-columbia-safe-and-beautiful/" type="link" id="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/making-the-district-of-columbia-safe-and-beautiful/">executive order</a> creating the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force to increase police presence in public areas and maximize immigration enforcement. The order specifically mentioned removing all homelessness on federal land, creating anxiety among outreach teams and encampment communities.</p> 327 328 329 330<p>Emails obtained by Street Sense shed light on the taskforceâs early interest in the Districtâs response to homelessness. </p> 331 332 333 334<p>In a thread beginning on May 2, 2025, Orville Greene, <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/president-trump-politics/internal-memo-detail
334s-goals-for-dc-safe-and-beautiful-task-force/3886929/" type="link" id="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/president-trump-politics/internal-memo-details-goals-for-dc-safe-and-beautiful-task-force/3886929/">then the White House official in charge of the task force</a>, who also served as the Homeland Security Councilâs transnational threats director for narcotics and opioids, according to his emails, connected with a mix of local and federal agencies to establish the âHomelessness Working Group.â</p> 335 336 337 338<p>âWe look forward to helping you through any blockers to ensure the execution of President Trumpâs Executive Order,â Greene ended his email.</p> 339 340 341 342<p>On May 7, Talor Wasden, nee Allen, policy advisor for the National Security Council (NSC), responded. She listed the organizations that made up the group: the Federal Highway Administration, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the D.C. Department of Transportation, the Executive Office of the Mayor, the National Park Service (NPS), and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).</p> 343 344 345 346<p>Some of these agencies, including the NSC and MPD, would eventually collaborate on federally led encampment clearings in August 2025.</p> 347 348 349 350<p>HUD Deputy Assistant Secretary Caitlyn McKenney replied to this thread with an attached proposal for an emergency shelter in D.C. for the group to discuss with the goal to âdecrease unsheltered homelessness and increase public safety and access to public spaces.â</p> 351 352 353 354<p class="has-text-align-left">Street Sense has not obtained further communications from the working groupâs discussions. But three months later, on Aug. 10, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115005075016157889" type="link" id="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115005075016157889">posted photos of tents</a> along I-66 on Truth Social. The next day, Trump declared âLiberation Dayâ during a press conference, officially invoking Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, allowing the president to take control of MPD during an emergency, and deploying the National Guard to the District.</p> 355 356 357 358<iframe src="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115005075016157889/embed" class="truthsocial-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0" width="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

358 359 360 361 362<p>Anxiety, chaos, and poor interagency communication ensued over the following days as D.C.âs Office of the Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services (DMHHS), which houses the cityâs encampment team, cancelled scheduled encampment closures, turning instead to the tents photographed by Trump â setting a precedent of rapid-paced clearings with reduced notice and outreach.</p> 363 364 365 366<p>Normally, the DMHHS encampment team partners with locally contracted outreach teams and the D.C. Department of Behavioral Services (DBH) to give encampment residents notice and offer shelter and storage for their belongings before clearings. While police are sometimes present at encampment closures, they are not led by law enforcement. At the time of the federal takeover, DMHHSâ protocol required the District give at least a weekâs notice before scheduled engagements unless there were immediate health and safety concerns. All clearings also had to be justified by health and safety concerns until early 2025, when Turnage, who oversees DMHHS, said in an oversight hearing increased closures were â<a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/dc-homeless-encampment-closures-increase/" type="link" id="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/dc-homeless-encampment-closures-increase/">more consistent with the mayorâs goal that people donât sleep outside.</a>â</p> 367 368 369 370<p>NPS has the authority to respond to homelessness on federal lands, like parks and monuments, but, unlike DMHHS, it is not required to provide prior notice or connect residents with outreach services.</p> 371 372 373 374<p>DMHHS began preparing for the possibility of a federal surge on Aug. 7, internal emails show. In one email, in response to a concern from a community member, Turnage wrote, âIf Trump declares an emergency and brings in the National Guard to supplant law enforcement, whether the encampment is on federal or District land will not matter. This will be a difficult three or four days.â</p> 375 376 377 378<p>Emails the evening of Aug. 13 between Greene, who was detailed to the NSC, Turnage, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice Lindsey Appiah, former D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith, Chief Inspector Donald Snider â who commands the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force for the U.S. Marshals Service and redacted parties from the U.S. Department of Justice established Turnage as the Districtâs point of contact for encampment removals that night.

390ot have control of a list of encampments federal forces wanted to close, but he had received notice closures could begin that evening. âWe donât control the list. If we got it, we certainly will be happy to share it, but we donât have a list right now,â Turnage said.</p> 391 392 393 394<p>Internal emails obtained by Street Sense show that around the same time Turnage fielded questions, MPD officers, then under federal control, were developing a list of encampments, all within a roughly 10-block radius of the White House. At least 14 sites on the list would be the target of MPD clearings that would break District protocol and send shockwaves of fear across the city in the following days, though outreach workers and residents confirmed several of the other sites were impacted during the federal takeover.</p> 395 396 397 398<p>The officers, whose names were redacted, sent their notes, at least some of which were in Comic Sans font, to Commander Jason Bagshaw to compile into a finalized encampment list at 1:31 p.m. One of the canvassing officers specified in a follow-up email to Bagshaw that âAll sites provided were encampments of either tents or tarps cover park benches.â</p> 399 400 401<div class="wp-block-image"> 402<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="977" src="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/Screenshot-2026-09-08-at-11.36.18-AM-1024x977.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1183089" srcset="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/Screenshot-2026-09-08-at-11.36.18-AM-1024x977.png 1024w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/Screenshot-2026-09-08-at-11.36.18-AM-300x286.png 300w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/Screenshot-2026-09-08-at-11.36.18-AM-768x733.png 768w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/Screenshot-2026-09-08-at-11.36.18-AM.png 1216w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">An earlier version of the list from the internal MPD emails written in Comic Sans font.</figcaption></figure> 403</div> 404 405 406<p>While DMHHS and the D.C.

430As this standoff ensued, then-U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi issued the now-nicknamed â<a href="https://x.com/ChadGilmartinCA/status/1956162781679640832?s=20" type="link" id="https://x.com/ChadGilmartinCA/status/1956162781679640832?s=20">Bondi Order</a>â to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser that attempted to seize operational control of MPD. This essentially implemented Drug Enforcement Agency Administrator Terrence Cole as the âEmergency Police Commissioner,â or the police chief. It also directed officers to enforce laws and regulations around unlawful occupancy of public spaces âto the maximum extent permissible by law.â</p> 431 432 433 434<p>Federal forces regrouped in the circle around 9:30 p.m. and did not leave the area until around midnight, though they did not attempt to clear the encampment. Outreach workers and local government officials, under the impression the District had prevailed, reassured residents they would have until Monday to pack, relocate, and move into shelter if they wanted.</p> 435 436 437 438<p>The next morning, everything shifted when Andy Wassenich, director of policy for Miriamâs Kitchen, received a call around 10:30 a.m. from a friend who worked in a building overlooking the Districtâs Downtown Day Services Center, where people experiencing homelessness often spend time. An influx of MPD officers had just arrived outside the day center, which was also included on MPDâs list of sites.</p> 439 440 441 442<p>Immediately, Wassenich messaged a Signal group chat with other homelessness outreach providers and mutual aid partners. As outreach teams scrambled to mobilize to other sites on the list, MPD officers and multiple Department of Public Works (DPW) crews arrived nine blocks away at Washington Circle around 10:40 a.m. Without any advance notice, DPW workers began filling trash trucks with the tents and belongings of residents, many of whom were not present, as at least 15 officers stood watch.</p> 443 444 445<div class="wp-block-image"> 446<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208045200/MG_0092-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1180821" srcset="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208045200/MG_0092-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208045200/MG_0092-300x200.jpg 300w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208045200/MG_0092-768x512.jpg 768w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208045200/MG_0092-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208045200/MG_0092-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A D.C.

In an email sent by Turnage at 11:01 a.m. to various members of the team and other local agencies, he warned MPD might close Washington Circle before the Districtâs scheduled engagement three days later, despite his recommendation to them to wait.</p> 463 464 465 466<p>âIt was not clear to me from the conversation whether my advice will be heeded,â he wrote. âWe are waiting to hear from federal officials and MPD regarding their plans for tonight and the weekend.

Just after 5 p.m. that afternoon, outside of the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse, Bowser and D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb addressed the media, revealing Judge Ana Reyes had restored Smithâs position as MPD chief.</p> 479 480 481 482<p>âWe have made it very clear that we have laws in our city,â Schwalb told the crowd.</p> 483 484 485 486<p>MPD declined to comment on questions related to the Bondi order and any directives regarding encampments issued by Cole, who Trump had placed in charge of MPD, between Aug. 14 and 15, 2025. To the knowledge of outreach workers and Street Sense, the only MPD-led clearings took place while Cole was in control of MPD. The D.C. Attorney General also did not respond to a request for comment.</p> 487 488 489 490<p>While the ruling re-established local control of MPD, it did not stop federal influence, and the fight between local agencies and federal forces to control unsheltered homelessness in the District was just beginning.</p> 491 492 493 494<p>In the week after the Washington Circle clearing, DMHHS, DHS, and DBH grappled with how to respond to federal requests for encampment clearings, internal emails show. </p> 495 496 497 498<p>Late into the night on Aug. 16, Greene asked Turnage for his âurgent assistanceâ assigning a point of contact to assist ârelocating the homeless encountered by law enforcement [in] the District tonight and tomorrow night.â</p> 499 500 501 502<p>Turnage responded the next morning, appearing confused, asking about the federal clearings, and noting he was informed the âencampment phase of the operation [was] complete.â He again urged Greene to inform the District if encampment sweeps continued, so it could direct its outreach teams for assistance.</p> 503 504 505 506<p>Multiple internal interagency meetings wrestled with how to respond to one-off encampment requests from MPD and the White House, the impacts of federal clearings, and how to adapt. An agenda Turnage sent to his administrative assistant on Aug. 20 for one of these meetings includes items such as: âReport on Latest Census For Homeless Encampments,â âResources Required To Execute A More Expedited Encampment Clearing Process, Post Federal Surgeâ and âChanges Needed To Implement A More Appropriately Aggressive FD â12 Process.â</p> 507 508 509 510<p>âI will use the information from this meeting to develop a communication to the [city administrator] with specific recommendations to expedite encampment closures following the surge, and to have a more efficacious FD-12 process,â Turnage added.</p> 511 512 513 514<p>Over the first week of the takeover, emails from Turnage suggest a so-called âtour of dutyâ began with District staff on 24-hour standby for federal agencies to call about homelessness. An Aug. 20 email from a DMHHS staff member notes Bowser specifically asked for behavioral health and encampment teams âto be ready for deployment once a concern is flagged.â</p> 515 516 517 518<p>Emails from Aug. 21 confirm at least one federal official, Greene, was still directly involved at this point. Turnage wrote to his team at 7:28 p.m., âBut Orville [Greene] is saying âhold your people until I speak with [Jennifer Reed, director at Office of Budget and Performance Management]ââ regarding sending home staff on-call for evening encampment engagements.</p> 519 520 521 522<p>This email is the last documentation Street Sense obtained on federal involvement with closures. But outreach workers say federal pressure remains, continuing to cause displacement and disruption.</p> 523 524 525 526<p>When asked specifically about collaboration with the White House, MPD, federal law enforcement, and the NSC on encampment clearings between Aug. 11, 2025 and Sept. 13, 2025, a DMHHS spokesperson stated, âThere were no special collaborations initiated to report on behalf of DMHHSâ and deferred to MPD and federal agencies âto speak to their process on encampment engagements.â</p> 527 528 529 530<p>MPD, for its part, deferred to DMHHS and stated, âThe MPDâs role in encampment removals is limited to maintaining peace during engagement events related to encampment protocols.â The White House did not respond to requests for comment.</p> 531 532 533 534<p>On Aug. 19, then-Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a briefing <a href="https://youtu.be/ON-lo4pw7Ek?si=k70EAXJwXdQb4zuZ" type="link" id="https://youtu.be/ON-lo4pw7Ek?si=k70EAXJwXdQb4zuZ">48 encampments were cleared</a> by âmulti-agency teams [and] MPD Patrol units.â Street Sense has never been able to independently confirm this number, and the White House has not provided lists of locations or dates despite multiple requests. In addition to the 25 sites on the list, many of which were cleared, there were three more federally mandated clearings and seven District-led clearings between Aug. 18 and Sept. 1, according to DMHHS. Combined with the closures near the Peace Institute and clearings mentioned in internal emails, this could account for up to 40 sites.</p> 535 536 537 538<p>Additionally, since the announcement of the Safe and Beautiful Task Force, NPS has cleared 169 encampments on federal land, the agency wrote in a statement on Aug. 28, 2026. NPS declined to provide lists of sites impacted or dates to confirm if these sites were included in the number Leavitt mentioned and has not responded to Street Sense public re
538cords requests for the information.</p> 539 540 541 542<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> 543 544 545 546<p>Despite claims by Trump at a rally in August of this year in South Carolina that âThe homeless are no longer there [in DC] in the tents that were all over the place,â hundreds of people are still living outside in the District and have only been forced to become more mobile.</p> 547 548 549 550<p>Following the clearings, Abraham and her boyfriend moved to a secluded part of the woods roughly two hours by bus from Washington Circle. But after their tent burned down last winter, the two have found themselves sleeping outside MLK Library, where the couple met.</p> 551 552 553 554<p>Since moving back to downtown, Abrahamâs been able to reconnect with caseworkers but feels let down by the outreach system. Sheâs been waiting for a housing voucher for about two years and transitional housing for four months.</p> 555 556 557 558<p>âTheyâre just making you go around in circles and there is no way out of it,â Abraham said.</p> 559 560 561 562<p>Even with new enforcement of a <a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/mlk-library-stopping-people-from-sleeping-under-its-loggia-with-barricades-and-police/" type="link" id="https://streetsensemedia.org/article/mlk-library-stopping-people-from-sleeping-under-its-loggia-with-barricades-and-police/">sleeping ban at the library</a>, they plan to stay in the area because they count on the groups that come by with food, clothes, and toiletries. Abraham also relies on the internet access and library computers to complete her online college coursework at the University of Maryland Global Campus, where she is pursuing her bachelorâs in Homeland Security, supported by Pell Grants and student loans.</p> 563 564 565 566<p>In the year since the clearing, Abrahamâs only seen one of her old neighbors once, while eating in the Miriamâs Kitchen dining room. </p> 567 568 569 570<p>She had him write down his number on a piece of paper because she shares a phone with her boyfriend, but on the walk home it started to rain. When she got back to her encampment and pulled out the number, the rain had smudged the writing. She hasnât seen any of her old neighbors since.</p> 571 572 573 574<p>âI donât know where they went,â Abraham said. âItâs kinda stressful to have someone in your life for a year and then have no way to contact them. Thatâs what all this displacement is doing.â</p> 575 576 577<div class="wp-block-image"> 578<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/AR6A9813-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1183090" srcset="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/AR6A9813-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/AR6A9813-300x200.jpg 300w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/AR6A9813-768x512.jpg 768w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/AR6A9813-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/AR6A9813-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Meghann Abraham beside her belongings at MLK Library, 2026.

Since several of the clearings last year did not work with District teams to provide outreach, caseworkers have lost contact with dozens of clients, cutting off crucial access to services.</p> 583 584 585 586<p>When residents move between the three <a href="https://dhs.dc.gov/page/outreach-0" type="link" id="https://dhs.dc.gov/page/outreach-0">Street Outreach Networkâs</a> provider zones, there is no communication between the District-contracted service providers. Providers can see outreach history in a shared database if residents reconnect. But this is not guaranteed.</p> 587 588 589 590<p>Amid a <a href="https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/785672/homeless-encampment-clearings-increase-across-d-c-without-steady-roads-to-housing/" type="link" id="https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/785672/homeless-encampment-clearings-increase-across-d-c-without-steady-roads-to-housing/">voucher drought</a> that continues to delay residentsâ transition off the streets, outreach workers are fearful of the continued communications disruptions and their lasting impact on people<br>living in encampments. Outreach workers emphasized that without proper communication, repeated clearings can create unnecessary trauma.</p> 591 592 593 594<p>âPerhaps society has always felt this way, but to have it said so blankly and then to have the action be so clear, it is felt deeply by our guests,â Claire Wilson, executive director of Georgetown Ministries, said. âThis past year, weâve seen a lot more trauma, a lot more complexity in terms of behaviors. A lot of people are feeling very, very defeated.â</p> 595 596 597 598<p>According to outreach workers and government employees, the encampments team is trying to adhere to normal protocol when possible, but federal pressure continues to make this difficult.</p> 599 600 601 602<p>Prior to the federal takeover, outreach workers say there was more communication from DMHHS ahead of encampment closures. But now, on multiple occasions, outreach workers say they are not properly notified of scheduled engagements by the encampment team. Outreach workers have found out about scheduled engagements first from clients, after they received stickers marking their belongings for cleanup. DMHHS has also repeatedly cancelled interagency monthly meetings between DHS outreach partners and the encampments team, according to one of the outreach partners.</p> 603 604 605 606<p>The District has cleared more encampments so far this year than in 2024 or 2025. The monthly average for clearings for those years sat between <a href="https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/785672/homeless-encampment-clearings-increase-across-d-c-without-steady-roads-to-housing/" type="link" id="https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/785672/homeless-encampment-clearings-increase-across-d-c-without-steady-roads-to-housing/">eight to nine per month</a>, but according to data from DMHHS, the monthly average so far this year is closer to 17 clearings.</p> 607 608 609 610<p>Clearings this year also look different. Outreach workers and legal advocates have noticed increases in clearings of single-person, mobile set-ups that would be less likely to draw attention in the past. This is especially true of Ward 2, which includes most of downtown, where thereâs a high
610number of federal forces. If tents do pop up, they are almost immediately tagged for removal, outreach workers said. There are no longer visible, long-standing, multi-tent encampments in D.C. as a result of these efforts, but people remain outside.</p> 611 612 613 614<p>DMHHS denies any of its policies have changed. A spokesperson repeated many times in a statement to Street Sense that âThe posture of the DMHHS Encampment Response Team has remained consistent as it relates to supporting service engagements and connection efforts for vulnerable residents residing in encampments, while continuing to address all health and safety concerns or intrusions connected to encampments on public space.â</p> 615 616 617 618<p>Outreach workers, advocates, and people living outside continue to argue against displacement. Instead, theyâre urging the federal and local government to shift focus and funding from increasing clearings to housing vouchers and wrap-around services that focus more on residentsâ well-being than erasing visible homelessness.</p> 619 620 621 622<p>âIf you really donât want to look at us, you really need to provide services â give us actual options that are viable,â Abraham said. âA lot of us are down and out of it. We need a hand up. Give us the hand up.â</p> 623 624 625 626<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> 627 628 629 630<p><em>Franziska Wild and Annemarie Cuccia contributed reporting for this article.</em></p> 631 632 633 634<p></p> 635 </article> 636 637 <hr/> 638 <p class="font-size-16"><strong>Issues</strong> 639 <span class="mx-3 has-gray-color">|</span><a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/issues/criminalization-of-homelessness/">Criminalization of Homelessness</a><span class="mx-3 has-gray-color">|</span><a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/issues/dc-government/">DC Government</a><span class="mx-3 has-gray-color">|</span><a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/issues/encampments/">Encampments</a><span class="mx-3 has-gray-color">|</span><a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/issues/living-unsheltered/">Living Unsheltered</a><span class="mx-3 has-gray-color">|</span><a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/issues/trump/">Trump</a> </p> 640 641 <hr/> 642 <p class="font-size-16"><strong>Region</strong> 643 <span class="mx-3 has-gray-color">|</span><a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/region/ward-2/">Ward 2</a><span class="mx-3 has-gray-color">|</span><a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/region/washington-dc/">Washington DC</a> </p> 644 645 </div> 646 <div class="col-lg-4 pt-5 ps-lg-5"> 647 <div class="mb-5"> 648 <a href="https://streetsensemedia.us3.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=30cabf430e2d2a593523fd548&id=3fff49b988"><img width="819" height="1024" src="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208050651/Newsletter-Campaign-Instagram-Post--819x1024.png" class="featuredad wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208050651/Newsletter-Campaign-Instagram-Post--819x1024.png 819w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208050651/Newsletter-Campaign-Instagram-Post--240x300.png 240w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208050651/Newsletter-Campaign-Instagram-Post--768x960.png 768w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208050651/Newsletter-Campaign-Instagram-Post-.png 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px" /></a> <p class="mb-0 font-size-12">Advertisement</p> 649</div> 650 651<div class="mb-5"><a href="https://streetsensemedia.org/app/"><img width="1024" height="1024" src="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208044158/Download-our-app-Ad-draft-1024x1024.png" class="featurecallout wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208044158/Download-our-app-Ad-draft-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208044158/Download-our-app-Ad-draft-300x300.png 300w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208044158/Download-our-app-Ad-draft-150x150.png 150w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208044158/Download-our-app-Ad-draft-768x768.png 768w, https://media.streetsensemedia.org/20260208044158/Download-our-app-Ad-draft.png 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></div> 652 653<div class="sticky-lg-top sticky-top-offset"> 654 <p class="mb-0 has-orange-background-color text-center py-1 px-2 font-title text-uppercase font-size-20 letter-spacing">email updates</p> 655 <div class="has-orange-light-background-color text-center p-4"> 656 <p class="line-height-sm">We believe ending homelessness begins with listening to the stories of those who have experienced it.</p> 657 <a href="http://eepurl.com/c6V1hn" target="_blank" class="btn btn-blue rounded-5 px-4 py-2 font-headline font-size-14"><i class="fa-duotone fa-envelope-circle-check me-1"></i> Subscribe</a> 658 </div> 659</div> </div> 660 </div> 661 </div> 662 663 <div class="container-fluid"> 664 <div class="row bar-middle position-relative"> 665 <div class="col-6 px-0"> 666 <div class="has-blue-background-color bar"></div> 667 </div> 668 <div class="col-6 px-0"> 669 <div class="has-orange-background-color bar"></div> 670 </div> 671 </div>
