(Washington, DC) – On Monday, January 24, at 11:30 am, Mayor Muriel Bowser will cut the ribbon on the new 801 East Men’s Shelter on the St. Elizabeths East campus in Ward 8. The ribbon-cutting is another major step toward achieving Mayor Bowser’s commitment to make homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring.
The Mayor will be joined by members of the “Goodfellas Team” – a team of seven residents from the old shelter who received workforce training and were hired to work on the construction of the replacement shelter.
