In our nearly 30 years, we’ve worked with tens of thousands of parents and caregivers like Ms. Taylor – families facing unhealthy housing conditions that harm their children’s health: leaks that open holes in the walls, pest infestations, mold that makes it difficult for their children to breathe.  

Pediatricians refer families to us when a child is sick because of housing issues. Through legal advocacy, we ensure that landlords make lasting fixes or we help the families move to healthier homes. Help us make homes healthier and safer for DC children today!

We’ve developed new legal strategies to prevent these issues from harming children, but we need your help today to make these strategies a reality. Please make a first gift so hundreds of other families like the Taylors, the Bowens and the Hills can stay healthy and learning. Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar! ^ 

Your support means we can reach children before housing conditions and other challenges risk their health and education. 

With gratitude, 

Judith Sandalow

Executive Director

PS. If your employer is participating in our Champions for Children campaign, your gift also counts toward your team’s total!
