Take A Virtual Journey Through Our Girard Street Apartments
Ever wondered what a homeless shelter looks like? Community of Hope's transitional shelters look just like other apartment buildings in DC with kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Join us on a virtual tour of Community of Hope client Renee Johnson's unit.

Hello! My name is Renee Johnson, and I live at Girard Street with my family. This is my case manager, Denise Negron-Bennett. My case manager is helping me find a permanent home for my family.
My apartment here has 2 bedrooms...

The average length of stay at Girard Street is around 9 months. Then families generally move out into their own homes. Thank you for visiting my apartment today! Everyone here at Community of Hope is glad that you were able to take this virtual tour with us.
