Just Homes is a housing initiative of The District Church that seeks to connect the most vulnerable residents of the District of Columbia with justice housing. We work to make this vision a reality by advocating for justice housing development on vacant church-owned land, investing locally in justice housing development, and serving low-income households in our community as they make their house a home. We invite, equip, and aspire to empower other churches to join us in this work.
Just Homes mobilizes and equips DC faith communities to live out their calling to biblical justice by meeting the housing needs of the District. We long to see a just city where everyone has a home and believe faith communities can and should play a critical role in actualizing this vision. Working together, houses of worship can significantly expand access to housing that is not only affordable, but just.
We invite faith communities to ask themselves: what role can we play in building a just city where everyone has a home?
