Veterans Housing Assistance Program
Veterans ServicesVeterans First: Provides short-term, intensive case management and rental assistance to help homeless veterans and their families get back into housing quickly and to prevent homelessness for veteran households at risk of eviction. The program targets extremely low-income households (less than 30% of the Area Median Income) and serves the District of Columbia and eight surrounding counties in Maryland and Virginia. The program received additional funding from the US Department of Veterans Affairs for a long-term shallow subsidy initiative for single veteran households in the District of Columbia. During the year ended September 30, 2022, 500 households were served (encompassing 669 total family members) through all services; of those who exited the program during the year, 86% graduated to stable permanent housing. Friendship Place also received additional funding from The Community Partnership to serve District of Columbia Veterans through prevention and housing access services (239 additional households encompassing 249 total family Members).GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2021 – Sep 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$6.2MPermanent Supportive Housing Program
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)Friendship Place is a leading DC provider of PSH for highly vulnerable, chronically homeless individuals and families. The PSH programs are based on a low-barrier, Housing First service model and include scattered-site apartments and an apartment building for 40 men. Case managers help participants transition directly from homelessness into housing and then provide long-term support to address the full range of their needs and empower them to achieve personal goals for recovery, wellness, self-sufficiency, and integration into the community. During the year ended September 30, 2022, 564 PSH families and 256 PSH individuals were housed. The newly launched Valley Place Bridge Housing programming supported 76 individuals. PSH housing programs ended the fiscal year with a housing retention rate of 99.6%, whereas 22 individuals transitioned from Bridge Housing to PSH.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2021 – Sep 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$4.1MShort Term Family Housing Program
