In 2000, Southeast D.C. Partners purchased a
three-story apartment building at 2826 Q Street with the God-given
vision to provide a safe haven for children and families as well
as a place of inspiration and empowerment. Affectionately known
as “The Q Street Building,” the center will house programs
and services that focus on childhood development and community empowerment.
We
need your help. God empowered us with the faith to build it, and
now we must put our faith in action! Will you support us in this
endeavor by having faith to build it? Partner with us to complete
The Q Street Building. For more information on how you can help,
