The House DC
The House DC is breaking cycles of poverty, homelessness, incarceration, and unemployment by providing at-risk youth in Anacostia with comprehensive services to help them establish healthy and sustainable futures.
WHAT WE DO
The House DC provides services for personal and spiritual growth, nutritional support, and artistic outlets, as well as academic mentorship and job training that prepares students for their next stage of life. We work directly with each of our students to understand their needs, help cultivate their talents, and build a supportive community.
Our Work in Anacostia
Why Anacostia
Why is The House DC passionate about Anacostia?
Unemployment is 50% higher than the rest of DC, there’s a high level of drug abuse among children between 10-17 years old, and a large increase in violence over the last ten years. We want to change those stats.

Our Impact in Anacostia
News & Events
Summer/Fall
Living through a pandemic hasn’t been easy, but our youth continue to press forward. Our students took the initiative to not only study the life of Joseph, but to carry that story through their neighborhoods and households.
Programs
Life Skills Education
Our mission is to affirm the self-worth of young adults between the ages of 17-30, by spring-boarding them into their identified careers and preparing them to become responsible adults who establish strong family structures and make positive contributions to society.

“Expect nothing, appreciate everything.”
This was Rosetta Boyd’s favorite quote. Rosetta loved to discuss The House DC’s work with her daughter and longtime House supporter, Tracye. We are honored that Tracye has chosen to make a special donation to The House as a tribute to her mother’s memory and legacy of selfless generosity.
