As early as 1936, believing there was a need for closer cooperation between Lutheran laity and clergy, a group of laymen in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area decided to organize get-togethers.  In 1941, the group established monthly luncheons, inviting friends and bringing visitors.  The first luncheon was a success, and within three months, every Lutheran jurisdiction was represented.  This group is now called Lutheran Lay Fellowship of Metropolitan Washington (LLF).

A concern for low-income elderly in need of adequate housing caused LLF members to sponsor creation in 1960 of a non-profit corporation, Fellowship Square Foundation, Inc. (FSF).  Now, over 50 years later, FSF has become the premier provider of affordable housing for the elderly and disabled in the Washington, DC Metroplex.  There are currently 4 Fellowship Houses: Lake Anne (240 apartments), Hunters Woods (224), Lake Ridge (100), and Largo Landing (106).
