🌟 Community power in action! A huge thank you to the dozen Historic Anacostia residents and CSOSA volunteers who teamed up to spruce up our streets and connect over neighborhood happenings.

Together, we cleared over 30 bags of trash and submitted several service requests to address illegal dumping, downed utility wires, and sidewalk repairs between 14th and 16th Streets SE! 🧹✨

Save the date: Our next cleanup is locked in for Saturday, September 19. Let’s keep this momentum going!

🐾 Keeping Historic Anacostia "Step-Friendly!" 🧹✨

We all want a neighborhood that is clean and easy to walk. To help make that a reality, HABA is excited to announce the installation of 16 new pet waste bag stations throughout the community--just in time to celebrate National Responsible Animal Guardian Month!

This project is a true team effort:

💡 Initiated by HABA to address resident concerns.
💰 Funded by Redbrick LMD (developer of the Bridge District DC).
🛠️ Installed by District Department of Transportation.

These stations are strategically placed to provide free, convenient access to waste bags, making it easier for everyone to keep our sidewalks and green spaces tidy. Plus, it helps protect the Anacostia River from hazardous runoff! 🌊🙌

You can help! This is a resident-led model. While HABA board members and neighbors are already on the job, we still need volunteer stewards to help restock and maintain a few locations (stations with an asterisk). You can also support the cause by donating toward the purchase of bags!

📍 Find a station:
• 13th & U / 13th & V / 13th & W St SE
• 14th & V / 14th & W / 14th & Valley St SE
• 15th & U / 15th & V St SE
• 16th & U / 16th & W St SE
• Fendall & V St SE
• Pleasant & Valley St SE
• High & Maple St SE (*)
