New audit by inspector general lauds city outreach to homeless encampments – Chicago Sun-Times

Inspector General Deborah Witzburg acknowledged the programs she examined are “only a piece of the city’s response to homelessness.” Nevertheless there are “lessons to learn as we continue to expand the city’s responses” to the burgeoning problem impacting so many American cities, she added. “When the city follows through on what it says it will do — when it treats people with humanity and dignity and respect — we should expect a return on all of those investments in trust and legitimacy of city services.”
