You had the D.C. Tuition Assistance Grant Program that you can apply towards any out of state school. Also most private school aid packages are very good, if you are poor you will probably get a full ride at a school like American or GW.

TAG is $10k/yr at the max and continually threatened by congressional defunding. The different between in-state and out-of-state at most public schools absolutely swamps this difference - for the public schools I got into, it was $40k difference in in-state vs out-state.

entirely orthogonal point - this equally applies to any poor student, doesn't matter that you live in DC. anyone who wants to go to a public school has access to this
