Hannah House
(NONPROFIT)
H.E.R.S. and T.H.E.I.R.S. Program
Hannah House
612 and 613 M. Street NW
Washington, DC 20006 Hannah House is the only dual program located in Washington DC for homeless women - concentrated not only on providing transitional housing services, but also addressing each woman's needs as a whole. Hannah House serves has two populations - individual women in recovery, and recovering women with children. These programs utilize the same resources and staff and operate next door to one another - allowing Hannah House to serve as a safe, stable environment to adapt and strengthen to meet these needs. Prior to 1996, 90% of the women on the HERS program had an average of 3 children in foster care, which is often an overlooked and devastating effect of mental illness, drug addiction, and homelessness. In 1996, Hannah House took a strong step in addressing this issue by providing a second program; the THIERS program, focused on family reunification. This program, based on the original program model, is able to serve five families at a time and includes the areas of Togetherness and Independence. The HERS programs and THEIRS program are next door to one another, enabling them to share staff, resources, and support among peers. Search all Human Services causes >>
