LinkLinks Washington Post Editorial Board: The death of Angela Hill shows we need to do more for D.C.’s homeless population By Editor On Feb 23, 2021 Last updated Feb 23, 2021 66 Share FOR AT least the past 10 years, Angela Hill lived in Southeast Washington under a bridge that carries D.C. Route 295 over Pennsylvania Avenue. She had a family that loved her. People from the neighborhood looked out for her, and city social workers tried to help her. But she rebuffed many such efforts, and it was there, under that bridge, that she died in the freezing cold. She was 58 and her death is unnerving to a city that has made strides in addressing homelessness but still has far to go in solving what at times seems to be an intractable problem. 66 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
