Home Exceeds Goal: $21.5 Million Securing Tomorrow Campaign Complete

Three years ago, the Lisner-Louise-Dickson-Hurt Home (LLDH Home) launched the Securing Tomorrow campaign with a bold vision: to rehabilitate, revitalize, and reimagine the future of LLDH Home. Today, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, that vision has become a reality. We are proud to share that we have exceeded our $20 million goal — raising an incredible $21.5 million — and successfully completed the Securing Tomorrow campaign. With this achievement, our Assisted Living Residences have reopened and are once again providing safe, welcoming homes for D.C. seniors.

This milestone is more than a fundraising success. It marks a transformational moment in the Home’s 87-year legacy of care. With the support of our remarkable circle of donors and partners, we have fulfilled the campaign’s promise to secure LLDH Home for tomorrow. Thanks to this community effort, we have completed extensive renovations to our original 1940s building, which was severely damaged by a flood in 2020. Forty-five modernized units now provide safe, accessible, and welcoming homes for seniors with low and modest incomes. The Assisted Living Program offers private accommodations, supportive services, and engaging activities that promote independence while meeting residents’ evolving needs.

We are also proud to be SAGECare certified, affirming our readiness to serve LGBTQ+ elders with respect, dignity, and cultural competence. Being SAGECare certified is both a responsibility and a promise: every senior deserves to feel safe, valued, and affirmed in their later years. Our Assisted Living Program reflects that promise — this is a place where every resident belongs. And the progress doesn’t stop there. Just steps away, The Louise on Western, a new affordable senior housing community developed by Urban Atlantic in partnership with LLDH Home, is welcoming residents aged 62 and older earning 30–50% of the Area Median Income. As the first project of its kind in Ward 3, The Louise expands access to affordable, high-quality housing for D.C.’s aging population. This milestone belongs to our entire community: those who gave, partnered, cheered us on, and believed in our mission. Together, we’ve accomplished something extraordinary: a foundation rooted in care, compassion, and community.
