Friends Holly Harper and Herrin Hopper launched the Siren House, a place for them and other women to live while they figure out the next chapter in their lives.
The Siren House is a four-unit home located in Takoma Park, Maryland, outside Washington, D.C.
The massive home offers communal-style living space with each woman able to have their own living quarters with their own bedrooms and bathrooms. "We are here for emotional support, friendships, sharing bottles of ketchup," Herrin Hopper said.Harper and Hopper said they have been friends for more than six years, but hard times fell on both of them.
"It was a sense of sort-of female empowerment if you will, and being able to survive hardships," Hopper said. The ladies say it’s imperative that everyone understands privacy and respects each other’s personal space. The World Health Organization says the global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by 25% in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic."It’s been nothing short of...foundational for who I am and who I continue to become," Hopper continued. "I could not have done that without this community."
