Reflecting on 2023, SOME would like to share our deep appreciation for all our incredible grant partners that have helped us work towards achieving our mission to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty in Washington, DC. One partner we would like to highlight is the Park Foundation, who has been a steadfast supporter of SOME’s work for more than 25 years and recently awarded SOME a generous grant. Over the next 12 months, SOME will be able to expand upon our successful partnership with the Park Foundation to implement phase three of our five-year Strategic Plan. Key priorities include growing our peer support specialist services for clients, providing comprehensive training and skill-building sessions for staff, and strengthening community relationships to further ensure the safety of SOME clients and staff. The Park Foundation’s meaningful partnership is helping to make a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty in the DC community.
