Mayor Fenty's office dismantled all beds and pushed out all Franklin Shelter residents in the early morning hours of September 26. About sixty randomly chosen homeless men were moved into an assortment of taxpayer subsidized apartments around the City, some were squeezed into other overcrowded shelters away from downtown DC, and even more, simply in shock, are on the streets and park benches of Franklin Park.

The City Administrator has said there are no immediate plans for the Franklin School building ~ which has left many to wonder why the rush to push out the homeless just it is getting cold.
