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. Founded in 1990, Housing Up began as a transitional housing provider serving 14 families in one building on the corner of Georgia Ave and Kennedy St NW. Since then we have grown to serve more than 900 families in a range of housing programs across the District. Housing Up is also a nonprofit affordable housing developer with hundreds of units of housing in our portfolio.

Your financial support made a big impact on our families in 2024. This past year has been challenging for many in our DC community, which faced a 39% increase in family homelessness and significant budget cuts to housing programs like rapid rehousing. Despite these difficult circumstances, the families we serve continue to reach their goals. If Housing Up’s mission and accomplishments resonate with you, please consider making a donation before the year is over to help support the families we serve: .

There's been a lot of talk about community at the end of this year - and for good reason.

Before the year ends, we're asking for your help supporting our youth enrichment program. Our youth enrichment program, which includes Camp Housing Up, teen creative writing, tutoring, and much more, is funded entirely by donations from generous community members. Help us build safe, connected communities, and donate to Housing Up’s kids today: .

December is Human Rights Awareness Month, which celebrates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations in 1948. This document describes homelessness as a “profound assault on dignity, social inclusion, and the right to life.” Housing Up’s philosophy echoes these words with our fundamental belief that housing is a basic human right.
