A LOCAL MISSION
WHY ANACOSTIA
ANACOSTIA CRISIS
WHY IS THE HOUSE 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.

Help Us write new stories of hope and change
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, ‘Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you’— when you already have it with you.”
PROVERBS 3:27, 28 NIV
