Heroes Place



2027 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE

In 2009, Jesse Moore, a disabled veteran of the Army, participated in sleep with the homeless project with his fraternity. What resulted was an inspired and informative experience that changed his life. He came into contact with several homeless veterans in the Washington, DC are that suffered a lack of support services. He made a vow to them that he would do something to help.

Years later he kept that vow by opening up Heroes Place, Inc. The resource center has had a major impact on the community by providing a safe place for homeless veterans to go and receive a lot of support services to help them gain and remain independent.
