Since November 2015, 149 donations have raised nearly $10,000 and purchased nearly as many meals for homeless and low-income women in Washington, DC. Thank you for your support.
People experience homelessness for all sorts of reasons; lack of affordable housing, medical emergencies, job loss, mental health concerns or the death of a loved one.
Ms. Jean first came to N Street Village in the late 1970’s. She came to the Village seeking safe shelter, a positive atmosphere and a place to wash her clothes. She found more than she expected; a strong recovering community that helped her achieve and maintain a clean and sober life. She achieved permanent housing; though she continues to seek affordable housing that better fits her preferences. For now, she is living clean and sober and stably housed.
She recently returned to N Street Village seeking assistance in getting a personal aide. The staff of Bethany Women’s Center at N Street Village is glad Ms. Jean thought to come back to N Street Village for support as her needs change.
