Abstract A summary of the resource. Right out of Georgetown University in 1991, Jeff Travers was hired by Jim Graham to work at Whitman Walker Clinic. He recalls Whitman Walker programs such as supportive housing for people with AIDS. <em>“People would leave us their houses… or I think we bought a lot of property back in the day when things were pretty cheap. We had a combination of supportive housing, independent living. We had one hospice type house, and they were not small operations because you were investing in staff resources to run these places.”</em> <br /><br />Jeff recounts serving as an ANC commissioner and dealing with difficult conflicts of a changing neighborhood, such as “NIMBY” opposition to plans for a new facility for N Street Village. Jeff bought a condominium in one of the mansions on Vermont Avenue in 1992 for $92,000 and later moved to a larger apartment down the street with his partner. Jeff left for Chevy Chase DC in 1998 in search of a larger home in a walkable neighborhood.
