Calvary Women’s Services

“When I came here, I felt safe. Right away, I knew I could do something better with my life.”

– Jill, former resident

Calvary Women’s Services offers housing, health, education and employment programs that empower homeless women in Washington, DC to change their lives.

Our programs carry out our mission to achieve excellence in what we offer: a safe, caring place for tonight; support, hope and change for tomorrow.

At Calvary, we believe every woman has the strengths and gifts she needs to be successful. Each woman in our programs identifies and builds on her strengths, meeting her goals for safe housing, good health and financial independence.

Education Programs

Empowered women changing their lives.

Starting a NewLena began using drugs as a young adult and her habits spiraled out of control after she got married. When her husband was incarcerated, Lena lost her marriage, her job and her home. After losing almost everything, she knew she had to make a change. She registered for a sobriety program at a local treatment center and completed the 30-day program. A counselor recom-mended she come to Calvary Women’s Services to build on that success.

At Calvary, Lena took important steps toward her goals. With the support of Calvary’s staff, she enrolled in lit-eracy classes and learned how to manage her dyslexia.

She worked closely with a therapist at Calvary to man-age her anxiety, and she attended Life Skills, Education and Arts Program (LEAP) classes. These activities gave her the practical skills she needed to achieve and sus-tain independent living.

Lena celebrated her first full year of sobriety while at Calvary. She said, “Sobriety is the first thing I did for me. My case manager kept me on track, and I have a good sponsor and a solid network of friends and family who support me.”

One year after coming to Calvary, Lena graduated from Calvary’s transitional housing program and moved into her own home. She continues to improve her reading skills and is working as a home care aide.

“I’m taking care of myself in my own place and I’m so grateful to Calvary,” she said. “I learned how to love myself there.”

Our ProgramsCalvary’s housing programs offer a safe place to live, healthy meals and basic services, and our support services program ensures that women are able to take positive steps toward indepen-dence. Calvary Transitional Housing Program and Pathways are transitional housing programs that primarily serve women who have been chronically homeless. Sister Circle provides permanent housing for women in recovery from addictions and health problems.

Our Support Services empower women to move out of homelessness.

Calvary’s housing capacity and programs continue to grow to meet the needs of the women we serve. With the sup-port of generous donors, more women transform their lives and achieve their goals every year. Donors provide more than housing and services to women at Calvary – they pro-vide hope for a better future.

I needed encouragement and Calvary really helped me out. They put in the extra effort for me. Calvary gave me the chance to do more with my life.” – Rachel, former resident

“Everyone I have worked with has been amazing, and the women are great. To help provide a safe environment that allows the women to get their lives back in order is incredibly rewarding.” – Jay, volunteer
