The Terrell Short Term Family Housing - Rooftop

The Terrell

Washington, DC

Named after DC civil rights activist Mary Church Terrell, the Terrell Short-Term Family Housing (STFH) facility is a key part of the District’s strategic plan to end homelessness. GCS-SIGAL delivered the new five-story building, which includes 35 apartment-style STFH units and 15 Permanent Supportive Housing units for seniors.

Residents have access to a variety of amenities, including community rooms within the building and the adjacent Rita Bright Recreation Center, which offers after-school and summer programs for local youth. The project also features administrative spaces, an outdoor play area, and a surface parking lot, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for families.
