The purpose of this oversight hearing is to examine the District’s contracting processes in the context of homeless services. Currently, the District invests over $100 million in the homeless services continuum each year.

This hearing is part of the Committee of the Whole’s continued oversight in the area of homelessness, as well as its oversight of procurement, generally. Due to the specialized nature of the information to be sought during this hearing, only witnesses with particular expertise will be invited to testify during this hearing.
Those who wish may submit written statements for the record to Alana Intrieri, Special Counsel to the Chairman, at aintrieri@dccouncil.us or to the Committee of the Whole, Council of the District of Columbia, Suite 410 of the John A.
