N Street Village

What N Street Village does

N Street Village is a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the largest provider of housing and supportive services for women experiencing homelessness in the District, operating continuously since its founding in 1972. The organization runs eight physical sites spanning emergency shelter (Patricia Handy Place for Women, 162 beds), permanent supportive housing across Flagship, Miriam's House, Erna's House, and Capitol Vista (~120 units combined), a drop-in day center (Bethany Women's Day Center), the Judith Morris Wellness Center, and the MARJ & MAK Vocational Center. In FY25 it served 1,625 women and 57 families, delivered 167,799 meals, and ran 748 classes across its centers.

Its service model is a continuum-of-care architecture: crisis stabilization (shelter) → housing placement (PSH) → self-sufficiency supports (employment, financial literacy, behavioral health, addiction recovery, primary care), delivered through a trauma-informed, person-centered framework. Service delivery relies on a blended in-house staff of 101-250 plus 500+ volunteers contributing 5,375 hours annually, supported by a deep institutional partnership network including the DC Department of Human Services, Unity Health Care, Georgetown HOYA Medical Clinic, JPMorgan Chase, Legal Clinic for the Homeless, House of Ruth, and Home Depot/Marriott for workforce pipelines. The Greenhouse Lived Experience Advocacy Program (LEAP) integrates women with prior lived experience of homelessness into program design and advocacy.

The revenue model is donation- and grant-funded rather than fee-based: services are provided free to clients. Funding streams include individual donations, corporate sponsorships, government contracts (DC DHS for shelter operations and coordinated entry/CAHP referrals), workplace giving (CFC #90946, United Way #8281), planned/legacy giving, in-kind donations, monthly recurring donors (Community Builder program), and event fundraising (Annual Gala and SHERO Walk). Financials are not publicly disclosed in the input; FY25 reported $149,832 in in-kind gifts across 431 individual contributions as a single visible line item.
