D.C. Councilman Tommy Wells has scheduled a public hearing next week to review operations at a homeless shelter located at the old D.C. General Hospital in Southeast. Families housed there have complained of unsanitary conditions, overcrowding and skimpy social services. There also have been allegations of sexual misconduct by staff with Families Forward, the company hired to run the center.

“I have been assured the contractor will be replaced at the end of the month,” Wells told me.
