Creating Opportunity for DC Families
Housing Up builds thriving communities in Washington, DC by developing affordable housing and offering comprehensive support services to homeless and low-income families. We believe that people who have safe, affordable housing and genuine opportunities are empowered to transform their lives.
Step 1 Referral
Virginia Williams Family Resource Center refers families in need to Housing Up.
Step 2 Housing
Depending on their needs, families are directed towards either our permanent supportive housing (PSH) program or our affordable rental housing.
Step 3 Support Services
Once families are stably housed, we provide a broad range of support services to empower them to gain long-term independence.
Step 4
Stability +
Independence
With our support, families maintain stable housing, gain employment, and further their education. Our unique combination of affordable housing and services builds vibrant, diverse communities where our families can thrive.
Our Impact
Since 1990, Housing Up has served DC’s most vulnerable families. We help homeless and at-risk families thrive by providing stable housing and opportunities for the entire family, including youth, to succeed.
