Brookland Manor Resident Services Fund

Brookland Manor is one of the largest remaining affordable communities in DC, with 535 affordable units across 22 acres. At a time when family-sized units across DC are being eliminated and not replaced, Brookland Manor's affordable four and five bedroom units are some of the last places in the District available for large families. The Brookland Manor community is continuously fighting a redevelopment battle that stands to displace more then 100 low-income Black families by eliminating all five bedroom units and a significant number of four and three bedroom units. 

Brookland Manor needs all of our support. This gofundme is one way we can support them, by providing residents with essentials that will help them thrive and in turn help them focus on their fight against displacement.
