Perennial Transitional House

Perennial House provides short-term housing for young parents and their newborns plus siblings as they work towards the goals of healthy birth outcomes and independent living.

The hub of Healthy Babies Project’s work, Perennial House opened in 2013 and has remained at capacity until the COVID-19 pandemic, when the facility was converted to emergency shelter only as congregate space.

We’re expanding Perennial House!

The renovation will add another story to Perennial House and along with it, four two-bedroom units. That means a total of 8 young moms and their children will have a place to call home at Perennial House.

On any given day, you’ll find Perennial House filled with life: classes and one-on-one coaching and volunteers as young parents and their children meet with mentors, participate in yoga, learn about personal finances, study to complete a degree, acquire parenting skills, and prepare meals.

Find out how you can be a part of nurturing this safe, loving community. You and your organization can sponsor a collection drive, an event, or a volunteer experience at HBP’s Perennial House when you contact us at 202.396.2809.
