Prevent & End Homelessness

At Thrive DC, we are a safety net for people experiencing housing instability, food insecurity, and economic crisis. Our goal is to support and equip clients on their journey of achieving greater self-sufficiency.
"Thrive DC is a place I could call my home. They help me put my life back together. Here I was able to find opportunities, programs, clothing, and housing. Thank you for helping me when I needed help."

-Barbara, Thrive DC Client
ABOUT US

Our Story

Thrive DC began in 1979 as the Dinner Program for Homeless Women (DPHW), a grassroots response to the first major wave of homelessness on the streets of downtown Washington, DC

Thrive DC changed and grew over the years to meet the needs of our clients, and in 2008 we moved from downtown DC to the Columbia Heights neighborhood. With the big move, we also changed our name from DPHW to Thrive DC in order to better reflect our growing mission.

Thrive DC, in partnership with other non-profits and government agencies, strives to provide more comprehensive services to a historically underserved and vulnerable population with the mission to end homelessness in the District.
