For some 500 of our most vulnerable neighbors – who come from hospitals, shelters, and private homes – Woodley House offers a welcoming home and caring encouragement. It provides residents with safe places where they can work toward recovery, with housing and support services under one roof. A range of options, from short-term residential crisis beds (alternatives to hospitalization) to long-term group homes and long-term supported homes, allows residents to live in highly supervised or more autonomous settings. Clients work closely with specialists to regain the skills they need to care for themselves (cooking, home maintenance, recreation), interact with others, and manage symptoms and medications. Now a provider of Permanent Supportive Housing case management services, Woodley House also helps individuals and families secure housing vouchers, while its food pantry provides nutritious food, personal care items, and household essentials to any DC resident in need.
