John and Jill Ker Conway Residence, Washington DC

Community Solutions and McCormack Baron Salazar, Inc.

The John and Jill Ker Conway Residence is a 124-unit permanent supportive housing community in Washington, DC, developed by a joint venture of Community Solutions, a national non-profit organization, and McCormack Baron Salazar. 60 apartments serve as permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless veterans using VASH vouchers, 17 serve as permanent supportive housing for clients of the District of Columbia’s Department of Behavioral Health, and 47 are unrestricted LIHTC units. The permanent supportive housing units follow the “housing first” model, in which people experiencing homelessness are connected immediately by on-site case managers to permanent housing and supportive services.
