About SOME's Mission
SOME provides material aid and comfort to our vulnerable neighbors in the District, helping them break the cycle of poverty and homelessness through programs and services that save lives, improve lives, and help transform lives of individuals and families, their communities, and the systems and structures that affect them.
Housing
There are 1,295 residents enrolled in our affordable housing program, including single adults, families and seniors.
Education & Workforce Development
Our Center for Employment Training graduates earn, on average, $21.40/hr—more than DC’s minimum wage.
Healthcare
Every year, our clients make over 22,000 visits to a doctor, dentist, therapist or case worker in one of our clinics.
Emergency & Social Services
In 2021, we served 75 clients through our senior center and 85,540 through our emergency services.
Advocacy
We foster local and regional coalitions that drive funding and attention towards eliminating the root causes of homelessness and poverty.
