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.  We continually strive to meet our goal of having residents spend 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.  We provide a safe, secure beautiful home to 40 low-income seniors.  Our apartments range from efficiencies to two-bedroom apartments.  All apartments have full kitchens and bathrooms. We currently have a waiting list and fill vacancies as they arrive.

Eligibility

Sarah’s Circle is a diverse and caring community.  Our seniors are age 55 and older and have incomes defined as “low”, “very low”, and “extremely low” per 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. To obtain more information about eligibility for our community, or to obtain a housing application, please contact our Housing Coordinator at 202-332-1400 ext. 21.
