- SUMMARY OF INTERVIEW: In this interview, Claire Davis talks with Alexis Lindsay, the Special Events and Communications Manager at Covenant House Washington. Ms. Lindsay talks about why youth come to Covenant House and the demographics of the homeless youth population in Washington, DC. Ms. Lindsay also reflects on how to end youth homelessness and the types of services that Covenant House Washington provides for youth. PROJECT’S OBJECTIVES: The interviews conducted as part of the DC Oral History and Social Justice Project record how unhoused residents of the greater DC area view the history of homelessness – how did homelessness become such an entrenched part of the city. The interviews will be used to create critical dialogue among people who are currently unhoused in Washington, DC, and then they may be used to assist future advocacy efforts.
