About us
With hope, one can accomplish anything. Families who struggle with poverty and homelessness can achieve their goals. They can overcome challenges like having no safe place to sleep, poor health, and unemployment, and enjoy connected families with happy and healthy children. With the help of our community of donors, volunteers and partners, Community of Hope stays focused on its mission, which is to create opportunities for low-income families in Washington, DC, including those experiencing homelessness, to achieve good health, a stable home, family-sustaining income, and hope. Community of Hope has worked tirelessly for almost four decades to impact the future for low-income, homeless and underserved families in Washington, DC. Originally founded as a compassionate ministry of the Church of the Nazarene, Community of Hope was incorporated as an independently-run nonprofit organization in 1980. As the needs of our community grew, we have expanded our services across the city, with the same holistic, compassionate approach that inspired our beginnings. With a team of more than 200 compassionate staff, hundreds of volunteers, and thousands of donors, we are building a thriving organization that is caring for families, improving lives and leading change. In 2012, Community of Hope was awarded The Washington Post Award for Excellence in Nonprofit Management by the Center for Nonprofit Advancement and The Washington Post. In 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018 we were selected as one of The Washington Post 150 Top Workplaces based on feedback from our staff.

We had a blast celebrating PRIDE this month! Starting with the kick-off of DC’s Black PRIDE celebration in the last week of May, we had a fun day at Capital Pride, to vibrant outfits, trivia, potlucks, and decorations at our centers all month, we showed that “all are welcome here”. While we enjoyed the festivities, PRIDE means much more. As Emily Bozadjian, Community Health Worker Program Manager, states, "Pride is a lifelong commitment to embracing, lifting, and amplifying the voices of LGBTQIA+ people. It's the continual advocacy for an equitable and just society for all."

We at Community of Hope are heartbroken by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Grants Pass vs. Johnson case. This decision allows local governments to prohibit, fine, and criminalize people sleeping outside. Punishing people for not having a place to live is cruel and does not address the true causes of homelessness. There are real solutions! Please read our full statement assessing this decision and laying out solutions: https://ow.ly/uc9u50Ss27q This is the most significant ruling about homelessness in our organization’s history. Last year: we helped over 1,700 households to prevent or end homelessness. Let's stand together, advocate for humane solutions, and treat everyone with dignity and respect. #EndHomelessness #CompassionOverPunishment #CommunityOfHope

🌟 Flashback to last month! 🌟 A huge shoutout to the incredible volunteers from McAllister & Quinn who spent a spring afternoon making the community around The Triumph shine even brighter. They hit the streets with gloves and trash bags, cleaning up the street and area near our short-term family shelter. Thank you for getting your hands dirty (literally!) and making our community a cleaner and prettier space! Want your group to get involved? Reach out to volunteer@cohdc.org to find out how! #CommunityHeroes #VolunteerSpotlight #CleanUpCrew #MakeADifference
