The director of the District’s department of human services, Laura Zeilinger, was on hand Tuesday to celebrate Miller and his coworkers’ completion of a training program that will enable them to continue working on this and future construction projects in D.C. I absolutely want to thank you for your service. Not only are you acquiring new skills and you’re contributing, but I know that this is the beginning of a pathway for you out of homelessness,” Zeilinger said.
When the shelter is completed this November, it will have 364 beds and wraparound services like health care and employment counseling. Miller and the six other men who built it will still have jobs working on other projects coming to the development.
