2 Dinner Program for Homeless Women

WHO WE SERVE DPHW opens its doors to all—we realize that homelessness can strike at any time and does not discriminate based on age, race, or gender. Our clients come from a variety of backgrounds and attribute their homelessness to many different contributing factors. We at DPHW recognize the diversity of our clients and seek to provide services in such a way as to meet them where they are and focus on their individual needs.

Contributing Factors to Homelessness

Gender Breakdown Age Breakdown How Long Clients Have Been Homeless

Over 75% of our clients did not have a case manager before coming to DPHW, but almost 50% of those clients requested case management services.

**Percentages are only representative of clients who filled out intake forms in 2007. These include, but are not limited to, anyone requesting a referral for services and anyone receiving case management. We believe these numbers to be generally representative of the population DPHW serves, although the men in our program may be slightly underrepresented.

The Dinner Program for Homeless Women began providing meals and a safe haven to homeless women and children in 1979. Over time, DPHW incorporated additional social services to address not only hunger, but the root causes of homelessness. In 1998, DPHW began serving morning meals to men in addition to women and children, and in 2007, we introduced formalized case management and therapeutic services for all our clients. Through the years, our mission has remained simple, yet profound...

Dear Friends of the Dinner Program for Homeless Women, 2007 was a year of exciting change and tremendous growth for the Dinner Program for Homeless Women (DPHW). The changes began in January as DPHW moved for the first time in its history from First Congregational UCC, currently being redeveloped, to a temporary space at First Trinity Lutheran Church. Spurred in part by the sudden increase in need due to the closure of several partner service providers, DPHW expanded to double our program hours and triple our client base. For the first time, DPHW became entirely responsible for the provision of meals and emergency and social services to the almost 300 homeless individuals who come through our doors each day. DPHW also introduced day programs to serve both men and women, including new case management services and therapeutic groups aimed at offering our clients the support needed to overcome their homelessness. As a result of these changes, DPHW was able to fully realize its goal of becoming a “one‐stop shop” for DC’s homeless men and women—offering meals, social services, community resources, employment training, educational and enrichment activities, all under one roof. We never expected so much to change so quickly, and this new set of circumstances did not come without its challenges. However, as 2007 came to a close, DPHW found itself stronger than ever. DPHW’s highly professional and dedicated staff approached each new development with leadership, passion, and commitment, viewing each challenge as an opportunity rather than a barrier. DPHW’s Board of Directors also showed exceptional leadership in 2007, implementing tighter fiscal controls and strengthening Board governance policies to help guide us through this time of change. Most importantly, DPHW is, and has always been, strengthened by a dedicated volunteer base (many of whom have supported the organization for decades), collaboration with community partners, and visionary public and private funders. Their unwavering support of vulnerable individuals allows us to offer our clients services and programs that are truly transformative. After overcoming the challenges and changes of 2007, DPHW looks confidently towards the future. DPHW recently completed a comprehensive needs assessment, which consisted of nearly 100 individual client interviews conducted by our faithful volunteers. The results are already influencing DPHW’s delivery of services and will be used when the Board completes our new strategic plan in 2008. We also eagerly anticipate the redevelopment of our old home at 945 G Street NW, so that homeless men, women, and children in the Downtown area can continue to find a nourishing meal, a friendly smile, and the social services necessary to survive and thrive. We look forward to experiencing this exciting transition with you. Sincerely,

2007 HIGHLIGHTS The Big Move

For almost 30 years, the Dinner Program operated out of First Congregational Church at 945 G Street NW. Due to a capital construction project at FCC, DPHW moved into a transitional facility in First Trinity Lutheran Church at 309 E Street, NW. Thanks to volunteers who rallied to help with the move on Saturday, January 20th, 2007, DPHW was able to complete the move in one day, without any break in services or meals. In addition to relocating all of our program and kitchen operations, DPHW introduced a new morning program for men and women, based on the model of our successful dinner program. By the time DPHW moved, both Zacchaeus Community Kitchen (whom DPHW had partnered with to serve breakfast since 1998) and the Downtown Services Center (which had offered some social services to clients who attended the breakfast program) had closed their doors. DPHW rallied to fill in those gaps, and is now the central homeless services site in the Downtown DC area.

Expanded Social Services

In 2007, DPHW was able to implement its goal of offering our clients expanded social services. DPHW’s staff grew with the addition of a new Director of Social Services and two program coordinators that also serve as case managers. In addition to continuing to work with community partner providers to bring a wide range of critical services to our home site, DPHW has expanded our Links program to offer a wide variety of support groups, therapeutic activities, and educational presentations. Through Links, DPHW’s social services staff also provides individualized assessments and

comprehensive case management services for clients who need it. With the addition of these important services, DPHW is now able to offer our clients more support, opportunity, and hope than ever before.

EVENTS PN Hoffman Charity Golf Tournament

On September 27th, PN Hoffman Development, a DC‐area property development firm, hosted a charity golf tournament to benefit DPHW at the Whiskey Creek Golf Club in Ijamsville, Maryland. PN Hoffman employees volunteered their time to plan the event, including staffing registration and the tournament, and later hosting a reception and awards banquet. The tournament was a huge success and raised $50,000 for DPHW. PN Hoffman employees at the 2007 Charity Golf

Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walkathon

Auction‐goers bid on items donated to the Weschler’s Charity Auction.

On March 8th, over 250 people came out to support DPHW at the first annual Penn Quarter on the Block Party held by Weschler’s Auctioneers and Appraisers. In addition to hosting a cocktail reception, Weschler’s staff made this event a success by holding live and silent auctions for items donated by over 50 local individuals and businesses. The event, held at the Weschler’s building at 909 E Street NW, raised over $20,000 for the Dinner Program.

On November 17th, friends of DPHW gathered for a breakfast together before heading to the National Mall to join hundreds of other walkers at the Fannie Mae Walkathon in the fight to end homelessness. DPHW raised over $53,000 ‐ nearly double the amount raised in 2006. Over 1,100 individuals registered and walked on our behalf, including 750 youth from Janney Elementary School, Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School, and the Time‐Dollar Youth Court. DPHW’s sponsors included Little River United Church of Christ, Celerity, and DPHW's own Board of Directors.

“The Dinner Program has helped me with meals, important documents, and mail. And they are still helping me. I thank everyone in the program.”

‐Donna, DPHW Client

When a person is down on his luck, it can be hard to ask for help. Already vulnerable, our clients can feel over-whelmed by all the steps it seems to take to make a move forward. That is why DPHW makes that first step an easy one—anyone who comes through our doors can simply have a hot meal in a safe space. However, we know that our clients often need much more than just food, which is why DPHW provides a range of emergency services through our Daily Bread/Daily Needs program. Clients can access these services at their own pace in an environ and with people that make them feel comfortable and welcome.

In 2007, the Daily Bread/Daily Needs program provided: 63,400 meals to men, women and children 3,090 free showers 931 free loads of laundry Use of our telephone system and mail services 9,225 times Distribution of emergency health and personal safety supplies 6,770 times Transportation assistance for appointments and job interviews to over 700 clients Computer access and training to 678 clients

FAQ: I know why meals and showers are so important to DPHW’s clients, but why are services like telephone, mail, and computer use necessary?

Imagine how difficult it must be to reach most of our clients—they have no address, no telephone number, and no way to check an email account, if they have one. DPHW facilitates communication between our clients, the people they love, potential employers, and other vital service providers by: • Allowing open access to a DPHW phone

line and long‐distance calling during the breakfast and dinner programs

• Providing incoming callers with an option to leave a voicemail for a client

• Giving clients an option to have DPHW as their temporary mailing address, so they can receive personal mail in our secure location

• Staffing our computer lab with knowledgeable volunteers so clients have access to the Internet for email use and also learning valuable communication skills such as keyboarding, resume writing, and basic computer use

2007 Partner Providers


In 2007, the Links program provided: • 2,121 clients with on-site social services

provided by partner providers • 2,559 referrals to clients in need of services

not offered at DPHW In addition, DPHW’s own social services staff provided 281 hours of case management and psychosocial assessments.

For clients who are ready to take the steps to change their lives, DPHW offers comprehensive psychosocial assessments and individualized case management designed to assist clients in obtaining medical care, employment, and housing. Fortunately, DC has much to offer our clients, but limited mobility, information, and trust can prevent them from fully accessing needed services. Through our Links program, DPHW collaborates with other service providers in the metro DC area to give our clients an opportunity to access specialized social, health, employment, and legal services on‐site during our breakfast and dinner programs. Since we open our doors to all, DPHW’s low barrier environment makes it more likely that clients will take advantage of these services. For clients who need services not offered by DPHW, we ensure that clients can access those services by providing personal referrals and transportation assistance.

“The Dinner Program has helped me get my self‐respect back and provided enough referrals and guidance to get me on my feet again.” ‐Fran, DPHW Client

RR EALEAL OO PPORTURNITYPPORTURNITY DPHW’s programs and support services offer our clients many avenues to get through the day. Consistent with our mission of helping people reach their full potential, DPHW strives to provide the people we serve with the opportunity to become employment-ready and end their homelessness. Through our Real Opportunity employment training program, clients work with DPHW staff to gain job- and life-skills that will enhance their future employment opportunities and increase their self-sufficiency. Trainees currently work in our administrative offices, in our kitchen, and with our program staff interacting directly with fellow clients. Not only do trainees get real working experience in a supportive, caring, and understanding environment, but they also gain “soft skills” such as team building, punctuality, and budgeting that they can carry into their future endeavors.

Kelly Brevard Kelly first came to DPHW 2 years ago in search of a meal and a place to feel safe and comfortable. Kelly was chosen as a Real Opportunity Intern and has worked with the program staff to deliver services to women and children in the evenings. As a result of social and job skills gained by her experience, and the goal management of her case manager, Kelly has moved into a transitional housing facility, opened a checking account, is effectively budgeting, and now feels proud that she is able to begin taking care of herself. Her work with the program staff at DPHW has inspired her to one day gain employment as a case manager with the homeless population, and we know she can do it!

We had five interns that began in June of 2007. In those six months: Three secured reliable housing Two successfully found full-time employment One was accepted into a full-time apprenticeship program Two opened bank accounts for the first time

It is the many hands of volunteers that make the work of DPHW possible. Each day DPHW needs approximately 25 volunteers doing diverse work so that our clients get the food, supplies, and support they need. Through our Many Hands program, volunteers serve in our kitchen, staff our computer lab, offer program support, and assist in the administrative office. The funds we save through the efforts of our volunteers can be directed toward the needs of Washington, DC's most vulnerable residents. DPHW is home to a wonderfully diverse team of volunteers. Every month, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and secular community groups are part of DPHW's volunteer calendar. DPHW welcomes men, women, and families to volunteer with

us. Students from local and national universities and elementary, middle, and high schools frequently volunteer in DPHW's kitchen, as do large and small businesses. Volunteers have even come to DPHW from as far away as Eastern Europe. Some have a special expertise that they share; others come with little training but are eager to serve. No matter who you are or where you come from, if you bring a smile and a helping hand, you are a valuable member of team DPHW!

VOLUNTEER IMPACT IN 2007 • 10,000 hours in our kitchen—preparing, serving,

and cleaning • 420 hours staffing the computer lab for over 700

clients • 520 hours in program support • 280 hours in our administrative offices

Volunteer service allowed DPHW to save over $130,000 in employment related expenses.


“What makes it so extraordinary is the fact that we have the best staff members, case managers, and volunteers in the metro‐politan area coming and working together as one.” ‐Dennis, DPHW client

“[DPHW case managers] Krystal and Kim have been great inspirations to me.” ‐DPHW client

“We needed encouragement. You gave us sound wisdom when no one seemed to have the time.” ‐DPHW client

“Before we came to the Dinner Program, we didn’t know which way was up or down at times. [Our case manager] Bryan helped us in so many ways: to have a budget, to save money, and to find a place to live. We now have our own place and are doing better than ever.” ‐Nancy and Shaheen, DPHW clients

The staff and board of DPHW were extremely saddened in the beginning of 2008 to unexpectedly lose Reverend John Mack, who served as a member of the Board of Directors for 20 years, retiring in 2007. John was a pastor of First Congregational United Church of Christ for 23 years, and he made his church a leader in providing opportunities for DC’s poor and excluded. His commitment to providing clients with compassionate and meaningful services helped shape DPHW’s organizational vision and development. John’s love will continue to live on in the many lives he touched.
