It's been nearly one year since D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty announced plans to move hundreds of the city's chronically homeless residents into permanent housing. The program is one of a number around the country that provide the homeless with apartments -- without requiring them to participate in psychiatric or addiction counseling beforehand. Join Kojo as we learn more about the program, who it serves, and whether it's making a dent in the number of people living on the streets.
