Community Council for the Homeless at Friendship Place provides help
to our homeless neighbors in Northwest Washington, DC. We provide
outreach, a drop-in center, healthcare (both medical and psychiatric),
case management, shelter and transitional housing, and permanent
housing. It is because of the amazing support of community members
like you that we are able to provide all of these services.
