Contribute to Our Spring Fundraising Campaign!

This month, we launched our Spring Fundraising Campaign to help families like the Hunters. Ms. Hunter and her five children have been Housing Up clients for 15 years. After joining the Partner Arms 2 community in 2008 and moving into our Fort View community in 2011, their lives have changed in countless ways.

Through stable housing and supportive services, Ms. Hunter has had the capacity for the things that truly matter to her: her children and reaching her goal of becoming a Registered Nurse.

From City to Suburbs: DMV-wide Increase in Homelessness

Despite a record low Point-in-Time Count (PIT) in 2022, the DC Department of Human Services (DHS) reported an increase in people in DC experiencing homelessness in 2023 after years of being on the decline. The 11.6% increase this year comes likely as a result of reductions in federal COVID-19 pandemic relief. Without the assistance of initiatives such as the American Rescue Plan Act, Stay DC, and eviction moratoriums, many vulnerable individuals and families are struggling to adjust to a post-pandemic world. While the world may be returning to a new normal, the homelessness crisis in DC is certainly not.
