WARDS 5 & 6
Temple Courts
In November 2018, the DC Council
unanimously approved 518 units of
affordable housing at 33 K St, including 211
replacement units for former residents.
This approval comes over a decade after
former residents were displaced from the
original Temple Courts building. In March
2019, WIN held a community meeting
where the developer MRP presented the
development proposal to former residents
and received feedback from them. WIN is
committed to ensuring former residents
have a seat at the table until the project is
complete. Ground breaking is scheduled
for the end of 2019.

and WIN has begun to push for
maximized affordable housing at the site.

Vacant for over 10 years, this public land in
Truxton Circle should be put up for a RFP
