Friendship Terrace Adds 125 Deeply Affordable Senior Housing Units in Tenleytown

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."
