Daffodil House Apartments Nearly 50% Complete

Large windows bring lots of light into Daffodil House apartments.
Daffodil House crossed a major milestone in June 2010. Half of the 30 apartments at Daffodil House are complete. Seven residents have moved into their new homes, and another eight units are available for new residents. Building Futures is working with organizations serving persons living with HIV/AIDS to identify new prospective residents. Residents must have a housing voucher of some type to move in.
New apartments at Daffodil House feature new bamboo floors, an all-white ceramic tile bathroom, and closet organizers in its closets. The D.C. Department of the Environment is donating Energy Star refrigerators and HVAC units, plus new water heaters for each apartment, which will help new residents reduce their energy costs.
Daffodil House plans to move forward with construction on additional apartments upon receipt of new funds from the D.C. Department of Mental Health/D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development. A grant of $450,000 is expected to close in July 2010.
