Homes Not Jails successfully took over another abandoned house located at 304 K Street NE on Saturday in spite of a stand off with police.

The takeover march received a police escort from the meeting point at Union Station to the house. Once at the house the supporters were greeted by four more squad cars and a paddy wagon.

The police successfully prevented the takeover crew from cleaning the yard but did not get the people in the house to leave. Unable to produce grounds for arrest the police eventually left the property. However they promised to return and seize the house.

Although the situation is currently unstable HNJ still occupies the home and is continuing to renovate it as they prepare for further confrontations with the police.
