N Street Village

N Street Village supports women experiencing homelessness in Washington, D.C. by offering a broad spectrum of services, housing, and advocacy in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. We partner with women to achieve stability and make meaningful gains in their housing, income, employment, mental health, physical health, and addiction recovery goals. We have eight locations in our village. Miriam's House offers 25 permanent supportive housing units with shared living spaces for women living with HIV/AIDS.

Phyllis Wheatley YWCA has long provided affordable housing to women. The Village partners to provide wrap-around case management services to 42 formerly homeless residents. Diane's House offers 42 units of permanent supportive housing, including 6 units for families, Diane’s House expands Village services to four of DC’s eight wards. Step Up Rapid Rehousing consists of 17 units of short-term rental and housing assistance for women with income to help individuals experiencing homelessness obtain housing quickly, increase self sufficiency, and stay housed. Capitol Vista provides intensive case management services to 21 women. These services allow them to successfully maintain and sustain their housing permanently.
