dc.description.abstractHomelessness in DC has been on the rise for a while but now it is getting to the point where it is becoming a major issue. The Mayor has proposed a plan to end homelessness with seven shelters, one in each ward of DC. The shelter this thesis is proposing would be a combination of a typical homeless center with the added benefits of an overall rehabilitation center. These features combined will provide a place where the homes can transition from their current state to a state where they can then support themselves and their families.en
dc.description.abstractgeneralHomelessness is a rising problem in the Washington, D.C. area. Families with children are now the most dominant homeless population in the D.C area due to the gap between a living wage and an actual wage. Through study and analysis, it was noted that a one night shelter was not effective in ending homelessness but a therapeutic, rehabilitation center is. From these ideas, it was decided that a six month to one year residency homeless center would be the best thing to design to better help the growing homeless population.en
