Mission
Open Arms Housings (OAH) mission is to provide permanent homes and ongoing support to women experiencing homelessness. Special care is taken to provide comprehensive mental health support to OAH clients.
Program accomplishments
- For clients under the scattered site PSHP, OAH case managers provide intensive mobile case management. All supportive services include supportive counseling, crisis intervention, financial management and assistance in receiving public benefits and referrals to resources and/or programs. OAH also connects residents with off-site services that include mental health and assertive community treatment, alcohol and drug abuse counseling, employment counseling, day programs, volunteer opportunities, self-help groups, medical treatment, and food pantries. The scattered site PSHP program has extended to service families and increased our ability to provide service. As a result, Open Arms Housing has increased those numbers of chronic homeless women and families being served in the District of Columbia. Through our innovative service model of delivering services, we now currently provie housing to over 350 women and families across the District.Expenses $1,298,251 · revenue $1,723,419

Each woman has her own efficiency apartment with a full kitchen and bathroom. The building includes three wheelchair-accessible units and a community room with shared phones, a television, computers, and space for meetings and social gatherings. The availability of an onsite Certified Peer Specialist and Case Managers, with whom residents can consult, arrange benefits, and request access to mobile treatment teams, helps ensure access to supportive services at a level and pace determined by each resident. OAH has maintained a 95% housing stability success rate, with residents remaining in safe, secure, permanent housing and not returning to homelessness.Expenses $226,821 · revenue $245,428
