Happy new issue of City Paper day. The state of the union is warm, with temperatures creeping toward 90 degrees today.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

  • Saturday, May 25 will mark the 20th anniversary of Snyder officially becoming the owner of the local NFL franchise, and throughout the years, the 54-year-old has earned a reputation as a meddlesome, micromanaging sports owner who can’t get out of his own way. His fickle leadership, questionable treatment of his loyal customers, and dysfunctional front office have driven away droves of fans. As this 20th anniversary milestone approaches, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Trigger warnings ahead.

  • The Department of Human Services released the results of its Point in Time Annual Homeless Census on Wednesday afternoon, which provides a snapshot of the number of homeless families and adults living in the District on one night. While family homelessness reportedly decreased by about 12 percent since the same time last year, the number of homeless single adults rose for the second year in a row.

  • Although D.C.’s unemployment rate is trending downward, it is still among the highest in the country, compared against states, at 5.6 percent. And some participants of the Department of Employment Services’ workforce participation programs say that the city’s not doing enough to help that.

  • Housing attorneys say that a DC Housing Authority policy prematurely cuts voucher recipients off from their rental assistance.
