Tell Mayor Bowser & the DC Government to Provide Emergency Shelter to Unhoused Migrant Families!

Last week, the Office of Migrant Services (OMS) ran out of space at the shelters where they are housing migrant families. According to the Department of Human Services (DHS), no shelter will be available for the foreseeable future and currently the DC government has no plans to open up more shelter space. So, migrant families arriving in DC are given the option of 1) tickets to another city that likely doesn't have housing either or 2) homelessness.

Over 15 families have been denied shelter in the past week! Migrant families will continue to come to the District, with numbers increasing following the end of Title 42 on May 11th. Many of which have children below the age of five, some with disabilities or serious medical conditions. DC cannot allow these families to go without shelter!

Please take a minute to email Mayor Bowser, Deputy Mayor Turnage, and City Administrator Donahue to ask that they use contingency funds to shelter these families! Our demand is simple — no kids sleeping on the streets.
