    Nestled in the historic St. Elizabeth’s Hospital campus, this flagship homeless shelter project is the first in Washington DC designed to accommodate a variety of discrete support programs for the community to create a place of dignity, a place that is safe and comfortable, and a place of belonging that fits and can grow. During this session, we will focus a panel discussion on the equitable and sustainable impact of the recently built St. Elizabeth’s Shelter. You will hear from the leading project team members about the successful achievements and challenges overcome.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Articulate key building elements relating to DC’s plan to make homelessness rare, non-recurring, and brief through community/stakeholder engagement of new homeless shelters that promote safe, dignified, empowering living conditions.
    • Explore challenges as well as solutions relating to providing short-term and long-term transient housing for the unfortunate who are disproportionately impacted by economic impediments and social developments.
    • Assess strategies relating to building within a historic campus, building over a metro tunnel, accessibility, and achieving sustainability standards.
    • Summarize and apply the lessons learned from designing a first-of-its-kind LEED BD+C v4 project to future developments.
