Open Arms Housing

Open Arms Housing (OAH) is a non-profit organization established in 1997 by a group of social service providers who recognized that housing programs could not meet the needs of the District's most vulnerable women affected by chronic homelessness. With the tagline of Transforming Buildings, Transforming Lives, the Mission of Open Arms Housing is to provide permanent homes with a welcoming and supportive environment to women who are homeless and who may have mental health issues. Our goal is to create safe, comfortable housing tailored to meet individual needs and to promote housing stability, using a Housing First approach. OAH has a ninety percent success rate of residents remaining in safe, secure, permanent housing and has maintained that rate since opening its first facility in 2009.
