DCCA Calls for Budget Increases for Supportive Housing
In June the DCCA Homelessness Committee sent a testimony to the DC Council asking for budget increases in permanent supportive housing to move our unhoused neighbors off the sidewalks and into the kind of care that can change their lives as well as more funding for prevention and diversion services to prevent people from falling into homelessness at all.  Read the entire letter here.

The letter also asked for more transparency about the likely impact of budgeted funds in addressing the homelessness crisis, a request that the Committee had previously made following the DCCA educational series on homelessness.

This is a family friendly event organized by ANC 2B, in collaboration with Dupont Circle Main Streets, Friends of Stead Park, and Capital Pride Alliance.
Long before neighborhood noise ordinances were in place, talented artists like Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, and Cab Calloway performed into the wee hours of the night at a home located in Dupont Circle. Read more the after-hours jazz club once located on what now is charming and peaceful Swann Street.

...Next we travel to leafy Swann Street to admire the block’s architecture while walking beneath a canopy of gingko trees. Take a moment to pause at 1752 Swann Street - today you see a home once featured on the DCCA house tour but if you lean in a little closer perhaps you will hear the ghosts of jazz notes waft through the air.....Click to Take the Tour
