Victory Housing Inc has been around since 1979 working as a nonprofit part of the Archdiocese of Washington, and it puts a lot of focus on helping seniors and families with affordable housing. The main office sits at 6001 Executive Blvd, Suite 300 in Rockville, Maryland, but the communities stretch all over Washington, D.C., and into the suburbs of Maryland. It has a large portfolio, with 36 different properties including well-known homes like Andrew Kim House, Avondale Park, Victory Court, Victory Forest, and Victory Tower, along with clusters of smaller assisted living homes like Bartholomew House, Grace House, Malta House, Marian Assisted Living, Raphael House, and Byron House. Some communities offer places for mixed incomes or families, while others focus on low- and moderate-income seniors, and many have provided support to over 2,800 low-income people in the D.C. and Maryland area.
The buildings often have gardens, patios, or walking paths where folks can spend time outside, and there are shared living rooms, sunrooms, libraries, and TV rooms for residents to gather, read, or watch something together, so people don't have to stay cooped up in their rooms. Apartments come with private bathrooms, big closets, and sometimes even a small kitchenette to keep some independence for those who still like fixing their own snacks now and then. Assisted living communities are described as small, but big in heart, with staff helping seniors with daily chores, meals, medication, and personal care, and there's support for people living with memory problems like dementia, with memory care services and secure, safe areas to keep residents comfortable. If caregivers need a break, respite care is on hand for short stays, and skilled nurses are available for those needing more medical attention, including round-the-clock care, rehab, or wound support.
Victory Housing manages both new and old apartment communities, making sure people who might otherwise struggle to afford rent have a decent and safe place to live, and the organization tries to offer support services and activities that help people stay mentally sharp, feel included, and keep up with friends. Scheduled daily programs give chances for group activities, entertainment, exercise, and learning, while transportation shuttles take residents to doctor appointments or shopping trips when driving gets to be too much.
Victory Housing also works on other community projects like home health care, education, international development, and technical help for other nonprofits, and while most of the talk is about senior living, some apartments in their communities are open to working families or very-low-income groups as well, giving a mix of people a shot at finding a good home. The organization runs as a nonprofit, so it directs money back into running and improving its properties, not into private profit, and the assets are well managed, with plenty of financial backing reported. Residents are encouraged to age in place, which means that as needs change, care services can change too-someone might arrive able to cook for themselves but later need more hands-on help, and the place tries to support each stage as best it can while keeping people comfortable, safe, and connected. Victory Housing aims to give everyone a place where dignity is valued, health and wellness are encouraged, and daily life feels warm and respectful, without being flashy.
