Programs

SOME has been serving the poor and homeless of Washington since 1970. We provide services in a dignified manner that demonstrates our respect for the humanity of all who come to SOME.

First, SOME meets the Immediate Needs of Washington's poor and homeless, including food, clothing and showers. Once a person's basic needs are met, SOME is able to help poor and homeless adults and families address the root causes of homelessness. SOME operates programs to help individuals with Behavioral Health Services and Health Services, intensive Addictions Recovery, and Transitional Housing programs. SOME is also addressing the severe lack of Affordable Housing in the District and offering Job Training to help clients earn a living wage. Elderly Services are offered to provide care and support to this underserved population.

SOME helps people help themselves. We encourage you to help, too.
