HUD is investigating whether D.C. landlords have overcharged for apartments rented to holders of low-income housing vouchers, @stevesthompson reports. A Post investigation last year found the DC Housing Authority overpaid landlords by millions annually. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…
Thank you for your strong local journalism on this story, @stevesthompson
On weekday mornings, Lewis Watts leaves his tiny second-floor apartment along Quincy Street in Northwest D.C. Often, his path downstairs is blocked by passed-out drug users and what they leave behind — beer cans, the remnants of takeout meals, the burnt smell of crack cocaine.…
In D.C.-paid housing, he tried to stay sober as drug dealers took hold. The city let buildings fill with people grappling with mental illness and addiction, leaving the landlord and neighbors to figure it out. Important story from @stevesthompson washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
@JeffAndersonDC1 @stevesthompson @washing_post I thought this was great reporting too. WAPO should do more of this.
.@stevesthompson takes us inside one block of permanent supportive housing vouchers in D.C. -- finding buildings filled with formerly homeless people grappling with addiction and mental health issues but who are given little to no support. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
In D.C.-paid housing, he tried to stay sober as drug dealers took hold By @stevesthompson washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Superb investigative reporting by @stevesthompson for @washing_post. Shoe leather! Photo credit! Great follow up on the housing voucher exposé from several months ago, showing us the human cost and societal dysfunction created by failing housing policy. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Great news for The Post! My friend @PostRoz is becoming an editor! Read her impressive bio here: washingtonpost.com/pr/2023/05/08/…
SCOOP, by @stevesthompson of @washingtonpost. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/… Thompson is staying on the story and crediting other outlets as he goes. No doubt knowledge that this story was coming helped influence Donald's decision to leave, just four months before her contract is up.
Worth noting here the Post's strong reporting on the troubles with D.C. Housing Authority washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Had a baby, and am deleting Twitter for a while, to enjoy @washingtonpost’s generous parental leave/restore my brain/stop getting in trouble unnecessarily. But fear not: I’m sure I’ll be back soon enough, to live tweet some postpartum meltdown… ✌🏼💃
Washington DC is wildly overpaying landlords who rent to tenants with housing vouchers: like $2,467 for a 1 BR w/ a broken elevator, no electricity and a hallway reeking of musty carpet and cigarettes. Good reporting by @stevesthompson & @DDaltonBennett: washingtonpost.com/investigations…
“By failing to assess how much units are worth, DCHA has created a market of its own — on which developers and landlords have capitalized,” @stevesthompson and @DDaltonBennett report. Overpaying landlords, they found, means fewer people are helped. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
A longtime Bowser ally tells the WaPo that reorganizing public housing board made bankers and developers "very happy." A board with fewer members, he said, “most likely would be more pro-business." washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Neighborhood in the news: This @postlocal investigation includes 4801 Connecticut Ave. and Harry Gural, the president of the tenants association (@vnsta3003) at 3003 Van Ness Street. wapo.st/3ItQkKu
The D.C. Housing Authority overpays landlords by millions of dollars every year, a Washington Post investigation finds. The housing authority doesn’t check to ensure rents it pays on behalf of voucher holders are in line with market prices, as required. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
We got new "brand" pics. I'm partial to the half-grin one because that's my I-got-em look.
Great accountability reporting from @stevesthompson. Every city needs someone looking this deeply at dysfunction in their local housing authority wapo.st/3IxSDfP
