“In 2022, Georgetown University was preparing to break ground on a new building for its downtown D.C. campus. At the time, there were about 20 people experiencing homelessness living around the soon-to-be construction site.
That summer, the university quietly paid the h3 Project, a nonprofit homeless outreach organization, to survey the people in the encampment and connect them with housing, health care, and other services before the D.C. government cleared their encampment.”
