Remarks from the Lisner-Louise-Dickson-Hurt Home

On October 29, Councilmember Matt Frumin spoke at the ribbon cutting of the Louise on Western, a new wing of the Lisner-Louise-Dickson-Hurt Home, providing affordable quality homes for seniors and older residents.

“I was delighted to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for The Louise on Western, the newest addition to the Lisner-Louise-Dickson-Hurt campus in Ward 3. This joyful celebration marks the culmination of a collaborative project to create more than 90 new high quality affordable housing units for older District residents with assistance from the Housing Production Trust Fund, the first project in Ward 3 to do so. As the former chair of the board of the Lisner, this was personal for me. Older DC residents need safe communities to age in place, and there are so many folks who worked with us to make this home a model for how we can accomplish that goal. I’m proud to see this project through to completion. My sincere thanks to everyone who worked with us to help us make this vision a reality. As I said in my remarks, being there makes me think of The Beatles song, “All You Need Is Love,” because the home is so full of caring and kind people .”
