Encampment Updates: Continued clearings at MLK Library, downtown

The District closed 19 homeless encampments in October. In 2026, the city has cleared about 160 encampments. On Oct. 20, the District cleared its largest encampment of the month, impacting at least five residents at the Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Memorial Library. The area outside the library has long been a popular spot for people experiencing homelessness looking to sleep in a covered space, but both the city and the library have targeted it in recent years through clearings and policies against sleeping in the area. In 2026 alone, the District has cleared the area at least seven times.
