Asked about what he thought of WISH, King shared, \u201cLiving in WISH housing has been great! I reside at the Congressional, around the corner from the Supreme Court. It has made getting to work really easy – as we are in walking distance of the Capitol building.<\/strong> The Congressional is also a very communal space, so I’ve been able to make new friends and become closer with members of my program’s cohort. I’m not looking forward to leaving, but I’m grateful for WISH and for the time I’ve had in DC. Thanks WISH!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
