I used this source for background information about homelessness in D.C. I only ended up using one of the percentages I found in this article, but it also just supported other articles.
Cockersell, Peter. "Homelessness and Mental Health." Journal of Public Mental Health 10.2 (1999): 88-98. St. Mungo's. Web. 6 Dec. 2013. <http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=1938057>.
This was a case study conducted and published in this journal, linking mental health and homelessness. Basically, the case study suggested that focusing on homeless people's mental health could end the constant cycle of going in and out of prisons and hospitals.
The Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness. "About Us." The Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness. Web. 6 Dec. 2013. <http://www.community-partnership.org/about>.
I only used this source to demonstrate that the organization was only five years old when the D.C. Initiative thrust the burden of homelessness on it.
Council of the District of Columbia. "DC Home Rule." DC Council. Web. 6 Dec. 2013. <http://dccouncil.us/pages/dc-home-rule>.
This source explains D.C. home rule and its provisions. Also, this website has a constant D.C. federal tax counter that tracks how much D.C. has paid in federal taxes this current year.

Like the Homelessness in Metropolitan Washington article, this article helped me with some background information and statistics.

This is probably my most important source because it contains a plethora of information about homelessness and proves how bad D.C.'s homeless problem is.

U.S. Constitution. Art. I, Sec. 2.
I used this part of the Constitution to offer the counterargument that D.C. cannot have representation in Congress if it is not a state.
