Excerpt:
At a Council Committee on Human Services hearing today, DHS Director Clarence Carter announced a resolution, of sorts, in the long-running saga of the Peaceoholics and 1300 Congress Street S.E.: That 13-unit building, which the Peaceoholics had gotten city money to rehabilitate into an independent living facility for young at-risk men, will instead be used to house homeless families. Another Peaceoholics facility, a 16-unit building at 1271 Meigs Place S.E., will meet the same fate. Both were finished and just waiting on their certificates of occupancy before DHS heard that plans had changed.
“We jumped on that,” said Carter (who had just been berated for three hours for not having much in the way of contingency planning for homeless families this winter).
