Affordable Housing

Sarah's Circle provides not only a place for seniors to live, but also a home in which they take pride, build community, and find peace and security - often for the first time in their lives.

Sarah's Circle has become a beacon of hope and a stabilizing force in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. Our well-maintained building stands in stark contrast to the urban blight surrounding it.

We continually strive to meet our goal of having residents pay no more than 30 percent of their net household incomes, after deductions for prescription drugs and utilities, to rent. This is the ratio recommended by the Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 8 program.

Unit Description

Sarah's Circle owns and maintains a 34-unit apartment building in the heart of Adams Morgan.

Without the help of government subsidies, we provide a safe, clean home to 36-42 low-income elderly members of the community. While total occupancy varies depending on turnover time and family size, we always have a waiting list and fill apartments as soon as they become available.

Our apartments range from efficiencies to two-bedroom apartments. All apartments have full kitchens and bathrooms

Eligibility

Sarah's Circle is a diverse and caring community. Our seniors are over 62-years old and have incomes defined as "low," very low," and "extremely low" under HUD Section 8 guidelines.

Although we seek to provide many kinds of support for our residents, Sarah's Circle is an apartment building only for seniors who are able to live independently.
