The Bowser administration is evaluating the feasibility of closing the shelter down in parts.

The most significant change was relocating the Ward 6 site.

“You’re a fucking liar! You know it can’t close in [2018]!” Bowser reportedly told Mendelson.

A revised plan would buy the property for new shelters in Wards 1 and 4, and move the proposed sites in Ward 3, 5, and 6 to city-owned land.

“it features the earmarks of an agency intent on saying ‘no’ without any intention of serious consideration,” the Ward 3 councilmember said.

Mary Cheh’s letter comes after weeks of opponents complaining about the cost of the plan and the sites chosen.

At the 2016 State of the District speech, she said she would submit legislation next month.
