DC Department of General Services

#DGSDelivers— We are proud to announce the opening of The Aston, DC’s new non-congregate bridge housing solution for adults experiencing homelessness in the District. We believe in not just renovating buildings, but in investing in comprehensive upgrades. For the Aston, we’ve modernized essential systems – from electrical to plumbing – ensuring that this building is not only safe and efficient, but also ready to serve as a vital resource for years to come. By investing in spaces like the Aston, we are helping to create a lasting impact that will ripple through our community for years. This is about providing individuals with the resources and support they need to regain their independence and dignity. The Aston is a key milestone in the District’s ongoing efforts to improve its adult shelter system. "DGS is proud to deliver improvements to the Aston,” said DGS Director Delano Hunter. We could not do this work without DHS and all who were involved in delivering this wonderful facility! #DGSDelivers #DGSBuilds #DGSProud #BuildMaintainSustain #Construction #Modernizations
