DC Mayor Bowser Grilled On Claim That City Has Just 221 Homeless People

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser stunned lawmakers when she testified that just over 200 homeless people live in the nation’s capital on Tuesday.
Bowser made the claim during testimony before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Tuesday, telling Rep. William Timmons, R-S.C., that her numbers are “the facts,” despite other estimates being far higher.
“Do you agree that we have a major, major problem in Washington, D.C., as it relates to homelessness?” Timmons asked.
