Item Description

The Patricia Handy Place for Women, located at 810 Fifth Street NW, is the first short term emergency housing facility to open as part of the Mayor’s “All Eight Wards” plan to address and end homelessness in the District of Columbia, as detailed in the Homeward DC strategic plan. Incorporating the best of N Street Village’s service-enriched model of care, programming at the Patricia Handy Place will be trauma-informed, dignified, and safe for single women experiencing homelessness. The transformative program will include critical services provided by trained staff, volunteers, and city and nonprofit partners and has been designed to create a sense of community and enhance individual feelings of empowerment.
