The Department of Behavioral Health and partners recently held a community meeting on the proposed Columbia Heights stabilization center. It was an opportunity to hear from DBH leadership about plans for the center and ask questions.

After seven years in federal court, we can finally move forward with hundreds of units of affordable, beautiful, dignified housing units and a community park at the site of the former Bruce Monroe School.
