About Us

Sarah’s Circle, a not-for-profit located in the Adams Morgan community of Washington, DC , is an award-winning affordable housing residence and Wellness Center providing comprehensive services for very low-income seniors.

Founded and incorporated in 1983, Sarah’s Circle provides aging services and affordable housing to needy seniors in Washington, DC. The program and building were first managed via a joint partnership between Sarah’s Circle and Jubilee Housing. These organizations created a model community where affordable housing is combined with ancillary services to help seniors relish their golden years and reduce their reliance on costly inpatient programs. In 1990, Sarah’s Circle purchased the building from JubileeHousing and is now the sole owner and operator.

To date, Sarah’s Circle has invested more than $3 million to purchase and rehabilitate the building. Recent renovations have yielded more apartments better equipped to handle residents with disabilities and updated unit kitchens and bathrooms. In 1990, Sarah’s Circle also built a Wellness Center on the ground level, which includes a commercial kitchen, a dining room and a large recreation room where activities are conducted regularly.

Sarah’s Circle is based upon the philosophy that old age is alive with rich possibilities. We believe that intellectual and spiritual growth is integral to and continues at every stage of life.
