Friendship Place Action Network
We invite you to join us in coming together as a community and raising our voices against the proposed cuts to services for those experiencing homelessness. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that everyone has access to the support they need. Your participation would mean so much in our fight for a more compassionate society.
Our dedicated advocate teams never miss an opportunity to make their voices heard at each important DC Council hearing. They passionately urge our elected officials to prioritize resources towards proven, rapid solutions such as homelessness prevention, rehousing, and job placement. Additionally, they emphasize the vital importance of investing sufficient funds in supportive housing as a means to ultimately end homelessness.

About Friendship Place
Location:
4713 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016, US
Mission Statement
At our core, our mission is to help people facing or at risk of homelessness to secure stable housing and embark on a new chapter in their lives. Our ultimate vision is for DC and beyond to be a place where everybody can find a place they can call "home."
Description
Friendship Place is staffed by over 100 people and has a wide reach in the DC Metro area. The highly successful programs have been given numerous awards, and help make a lasting difference in the lives of over 4,500 people yearly through street outreach, free medical and psychiatric clinic, including drop-in care, case management, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing for veterans and their families as well as job placement and specialized programs. Our program results have been incredibly successful, and various government and nonprofit organizations all over the country are studying our models to replicate our achievements.
Nonetheless, Friendship Place-supported by 26 congregations and more than 300 volunteers a year-retains the feel of a small, caring, neighborhood organization. The most commonly repeated refrain we hear from the people who come to us for help is this: "At other agencies, I felt like a number. At Friendship Place, I’m treated like a human being."
