Description: Cultivating resilience in children experiencing family housing insecurity by providing and expanding access to transformative play experiences. (Playtime Project is not a shelter.)
Playtime Project cultivates resilience in children experiencing family housing insecurity by providing and expanding access to transformative play experiences.
We partner with transitional housing and emergency shelters and community spaces across the city, where we create safe and fun play spaces at the shelters where the children live. Weekly volunteers dedicate their time, serving as playmates and mentors to children from 6 months to 12 years old. Learn more .
In 2014, 8-year-old Relisha Rudd went missing from the now-closed DC General Family Shelter. She is still missing to this day. Systemic failures at multiple levels made this case a high-profile example of how too many children, particularly Black and brown children living with housing insecurity, fall through the cracks. July 11th has been designated Relisha Rudd Remembrance Day with the hope that she will be found. This year, she would be 17 years old.
