Daffodil House Apartments – Renovation Complete!

Large windows bring lots of light into Daffodil House apartments.

Daffodil House renovations are 100% complete and all units are occupied!

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 has donated Energy Star refrigerators and HVAC units, plus new water heaters for each apartment, which will help new residents reduce their energy costs.

Daffodil House received a $450,000 grant from the D.C. Department of Mental Health/D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development for this substantial renovation.

Daffodil House's all-electric kitchens include Energy Star refrigerators provided by the DC Department of the Environment.

Volunteers

Volunteers from the American Association of Medical Colleges tackled the amazing completion of all of Marigold Place's yard facing the street. Their efforts were coordinated by Greater DC Cares.

Building Futures relies on community volunteers to contribute their personal time, effort, and care in support of our families and their housing. We work with both groups of volunteers and individuals.

Fixing up Daffodil House for new residents is our top priority right now. Groups of volunteers have helped remove old carpeting and tiles, damaged drywall, and old appliances, patched holes in walls, painted hallways and stairwells, and performed other tasks.  Special thanks to volunteers from these organizations:

• Fannie Mae (ERG and HIV/AIDS Committees)
• Greater DC Cares through its annual Servathon
• Yachad DC (and Congregation Beth-El in Bethesda)
