Since 1980, COH has worked to improve health, end homelessness, and partner with communities to make DC more equitable. A continuum of programs – including homelessness prevention, temporary housing, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing – provides over 1,600 families and individuals with a safe place to live while helping them work toward self-sufficiency. Case management means job support, budgeting, family stability, and emotional wellness, all according to need. Programs include one in partnership with Martha's Table and another at two of seven shelters developed by the city government to provide dignified, short-term housing for 50 families. Comprehensive health services in Wards 1, 5, and 8 centers mean patients can access everything they need at one location: preventative and routine health care, wellness services, chronic disease management, dental services, counseling, prenatal and specialty care. Ultimately, we are all one community.
