> men’s only (aka sex offender)

Mixed-gender shelters that aren't specifically for families with children are uncommon. Sometimes 'family' shelters won't let the man stay with the rest of the family.

Yeesh, should these men just be put on the street? The incredible cruelty we show to the most downtrodden is hard to hear sometimes.

Edit: directed at the person calling men's shelters just "sex offenders". Also even if there are sex offenders there, they shouldn't be left to wither in the streets.

Do a sex offender search and see where most of the dc sex offenders are registered. This is dramatically the largest concentration of sex offenders in the city.
