Reeves Farmhouse

In acknowledgement of the great need for supportive living environments for adults with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers, we have embarked on an ambitious project to renovate the historic Reevesland Farmhouse.

Partnering with L’Arche of Greater Washington, HomeAid National Capital Region, and Arlington County, Habitat DC-NOVA is transforming the historic Reeves Farmhouse into a group home. This collaboration aims to restore the farmhouse’s exterior to its former glory while renovating the interior to provide a nurturing space for residents. With a new wing, the project will accommodate up to four residents and 1-2 caregivers and will be approximately 5,000 sq ft. L’Arche will be the owner and operator of the Reeves Farmhouse upon completion, providing housing, services, and supports to up to four core members.

Arlington County has designated the Reeves Farmhouse as a historically significant property. To preserve its heritage, the farmhouse’s exterior will undergo careful restoration, ensuring its architectural integrity is retained. The interior will be thoroughly renovated to create a comfortable and functional living space. The renovation will create a group home environment that promotes inclusivity, independence, and a sense of belonging for the residents.
