Current Projects:
Aston Community Advisory Team
The District of Columbia, as part of its efforts to create non-congregate bridge housing options, purchased 1129 New Hampshire Avenue, NW (the Aston), as authorized by CA25-0254, to provide a dignified environment for District residents who are best served in non-shelter facilities.
Drawing upon the District’s very successful Short-Term Family Housing program, the District will work with a Community Advisory Team (CAT) to discuss progress and ensure the success of the project. For complete information about the CAT's establishment, meetings, and membership, click here.
