Updated: Mar 6

Seabury Resources for Aging Establishes $2M Food Trust to Support Residents

For Immediate Release

February 11, 2025


Washington, DC – Seabury Resources for Aging welcomed the community to an open house at Friendship Terrace, a senior living community that recently converted 125 units into deeply affordable housing. The residential property, located at 4201 Butterworth Place NW in Washington, DC’s Tenleytown neighborhood, has also established a $2 million Food Trust -- ensuring Seabury at Friendship Terrace offers stable, affordable homes and access to delicious, nutritious food for Ward 3’s senior community.


Families, caregivers, older adults and more community members joined Seabury on Thursday for an Open House to explore the unique transit-adjacent, deeply affordable senior living community, where deeply affordable housing, affordable meals, and inclusive community come together to showcase what aging with independence and dignity mean in 2025.

Dawn Quattlebaum, CEO of Seabury Resources for Aging, expressed her passion for the initiative, “At Seabury, we believe that every senior deserves a fulfilling and enriching living experience. Our open house at Friendship Terrace provides a wonderful opportunity for the community to witness firsthand how we champion

our residents’ well-being, especially during a time when deeply affordable senior housing is increasingly scarce.”


According to a 2023 Urban Institute report, one in ten people over the age of 55 in Washington, D.C., face housing insecurity (Table 5, page 17). Additionally, the Capital Area Food Bank reports that nearly one in two seniors (42%) in DC experience food insecurity. Friendship Terrace is dedicated to addressing these challenges by providing a new $2M Food Trust that supports sliding scale meal subsidies for residents, along with 125 units of newly deeply affordable housing (30% or less of Area Median Income), subsidized by project-based vouchers administered by the DC Housing Authority (DCHA). "Our seniors are the backbone of our community. Through their hard work over the course of their lives, they helped support future generations. With Friendship Terrace, we are supporting them," said Keith Pettigrew, DCHA.

Ward 3 Councilmember Matt Frumin: "The [$2M] Food Trust is the cherry on top for this project. Food security is so critical - the number of seniors living with food insecurity is a tragedy, and you are taking a big step addressing that here."

Thank you to Seabury and the Friendship Terrace residents for your partnership and thank you to Councilmember Frumin and the Tenleytown community for your support.”


“Friendship Terrace represents a crucial step forward in addressing the urgent need to provide access to affordable housing and food for seniors in Ward 3 and across the District. Efforts like the Friendship Terrace project by groups like Seabury Resources for Aging show a commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive community for all generations,” said, Councilmember Matt Frumin.

Rats are a common and persistent nuisance in Orlando, FL, due to the warm climate and abundant food sources that create an ideal environment for rodent infestations. While many homeowners are aware of typical rat entry points such as cracks in foundations, open vents, and gaps in roofs, a significant and often overlooked threat is rats entering homes through plumbing systems. https://sewerassassin.com/rodent-bait-station-pest-control-supplier-near-orlando-fl/

I used Assignment Help Singapore from Assignmenthelppro, and it was a great experience. The team helped me with my assignment and delivered it on time. The work was good, easy to understand, and followed all the instructions from my college. They also answered my questions quickly and were very friendly. I liked how they made sure everything was original and well-written. If you are a student in Singapore and need help with your assignment or projects, I really recommend Assignmenthelppro.
