The 801 East Shelter on the grounds of St. Elizabeth's is not as clean as you said it is. While they DO clean at specified times, they don't clean accidents in a timely manner. I've seen feces from incontinent men remain on the floor for quite some time, until the next SCHEDULED clean-up.

I arrived while the councilman was there, as you know. I had just left a dinner at my church. I got a bowl of what was being served, took a couple of bites and pushed it away. I then said,"It's a good thing I ate before I came here". Mr. Wells even made the remark that he might eat that (whatever that stuff was) once a week, but not every day. He also brought some ribs on Wednesday.

The fire alarm at 801 East was tested on Wednesday. It doesn't work at all. Neither does the ventilation system. Look into that. It is dangerous.

There is still a lawsuit that is under way to force the mayor and the Council to improve homeless and housing services. It is called Sheptock vs. Fenty. It is not just about reopening Franklin. It is about addressing ALL homeless services (including those aimed at ending homelessness).
