A Note from Housing Up 

As coronavirus continues to impact our entire DMV community, we hope our readers are staying healthy, safe and connected during this time. While it’s critical to follow social distancing, isolation and quarantine guidelines for the health of ourselves and others, we hope you have made caring for your mental health a priority as well. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

We’re Counting on Your Support: Coronavirus’ Impact on Our Community

The effect of coronavirus on Housing Up families has been vast. As of last week, more than 25 percent of our families have either lost their jobs or had their work hours reduced, and we expect this number to increase. In this time of school closures and financial insecurity, our community needs your help.

If you are able to support our families during these unprecedented times, please click here to donate. 

As always, we greatly appreciate your continuous generosity.

Living in the City Sponsorship Opportunities

This year, Living in the City will be held on October 5 at Woolly Mammoth Theater! As our community will be challenged to grapple with the devastating effects of COVID-19, we’re counting on your support now more than ever. We hope you’ll consider playing a vital role in helping our community’s most vulnerable by partnering with Housing Up.

Spring Panel & Community Day Postponed

Out of care and caution for our community due to COVID-19, Housing Up’s Spring Panel and first annual Community Day will be postponed. We will continue to monitor all DC and national safety guidance regarding large gatherings, and we will reschedule both events once it is safe to do so.
