Outreach

We go out into the streets to meet homeless people where they are, taking them sandwiches and beverages, earning their trust and encouraging them to come into our resource center for services.

Hospitality

Our homeless neighbors are free to drop by Friendship Place to have a cup of coffee or sandwich, read the paper or enjoy friendly conversation.

Health Care

We offer free medical and psychiatric services at Friendship Place.

Shelters

We partner with five local congregations that host small transitional shelters, where consumers can work toward the goals they’ve set with their case manager while recovering from the trauma of living on the streets.

Permanent Housing

Through group homes, apartments and a new DC funded program we call Neighbors First, we offer housing and supportive services to formerly homeless men and women.

 
 

FAQs

Do you need donations of clothing and furniture?
Not usually. Due to a lack of storage space, Friendship Place accepts clothing, furniture and miscellaneous items only when there is an immediate need. Exceptions to this policy include new underwear and socks, which are accepted all year, and warm coats, gloves, hats and long underwear in the winter.
