We are looking for a someone who is on fire with her faith to join our community of women in a beautiful 5 bedroom house in Falls Church, Virginia. Currently there are 5 Catholic women living in the house, but we would like to welcome anyone who is open to sharing her faith with others and growing in her faith by living with these women. There are two spots open in the house. One is a single bedroom (shared bath with one other person) and the rent is $500 a month. The other is a shared bedroom and shared bath with the rent at $450 a month. The house is large with a spacious kitchen, two living room areas, and a huge yard. Best of all, the house is a warm place to come home to at the end of the day with faith-filled women there to welcome, comfort, and guide you in growing deeper in love with God.
Please inquire further by e-mailing Lisa at Lis5285@aol.com or calling 724-331-4346 for more info.
Hi all, Korin here from Washington, DC. My husband, Bryant, and I are in a community house that recently had our housemates move out for college. We invite anyone who is interested in living in intentional community and investing some time into our neighborhood to have conversations with us about living here.
I’ll say just a bit now to save you some time, if you’re interested. We live in the Shaw neighborhood that has seen enormous change over the years. In the 60s it was an area vibrant in the African traditions and a leader in art. It was hit hardest by the riots and fires after MLK Jr. was assassinated. Since then, recovery has been incredibly slow. It has been plagued by drugs and violence (mostly gang). The house we live in actually used to be the drug lord’s. We live next door to New Community Church that has been here for 25ish years and has been a great influence of positive change. They have an after school program, Sunday service as well as intra-week groups, a garden which we tend, and is incredibly well-connected to peace/social justice orgs in the area. Living in this house does not require attending that church, but it is expected that some time would be spent giving back to the community in some way. The housing is intended (but not exclusive) for low-income needs.
If you are passionate about learning and action, there are ENDLESS possibilities here in DC. If you would like to further the conversation, please feel free to send me a message and I’ll be getting back to you. Also, it would be helpful if you passed this info on to someone else who might be interested. My email is Lemankk@gmail.com Thanks.

Our venue moves again, this time to Southeast DC! Come one, come all, to Fairlawn…hall.
(Okay, so poetry isn’t a strength of mine.)
Anyway, September’s DC Area Community of Communities meeting will NOT be held on the first Monday of the month (being as it’s a legally mandated holiday and all), and so we will be gathering at 7pm on Monday, September 10th. Much to talk about and share and lift up before God. It’ll be grand, and you’ll get to see my new piano, which at least I remain terribly excited about.
The address is 2106 Minnesota Ave SE — the only row house on the street with green shingles.
If you’re coming from Virginia, you’ll want to take I-395 N to the Southeast Freeway (also known as 1-295 S). Exit on Pennsylvania, where you’ll cross the Anacostia River. Just a couple blocks after the river, you turn right at L’Enfant Sq onto Minnesota Ave. It’s a bit of a tricky intersection in that there are multiple right — take the tight, rather than the wide, curve, but also try not to turn into the parking lot. (In terms of landmarks, at that corner there’s a bus stop and the Post Office.) We’re three blocks down on the block right past Orr Elementary School. Our house is on the right side of the street across from a grassy triangle. Parking is abundant and unzoned, so don’t worry on that front. Park wherever you please, though stopping right in the middle of the road may lead to some insurance problems for you.
For those driving from the city, assuming you can find Penn. Ave, pick up the directions there, and you’ll be good.
If you’re taking public transportation, the closest Metros are Anacostia (green line) and Potomac Ave (blue and orange). More than likely, if you’re metroing, you can simply call us and we’ll come and pick you up. But you can also take the B2 from either metro right to our block. Call me for specifics, particularly if you’re coming from Potomac Ave.
Half-price burgers beforehand at Crystal City Sports Pub at 5:30 as usual — call Matt for details on that (434.962.4927).
Call me with any questions, and let me know if you’re planning on coming. Hope to see on the 10th!
