The
Anne Frank House (AFH) provides permanent housing and social service
support to formerly homeless men and women with chronic mental illness.
Established in 1987, AFH is an independent private nonprofit corporation affiliated with Adas Israel Congregation.
AFH activities are financed primarily by contributions and grants and are conducted solely within the District of Columbia.
AFH
has no paid staff. Our volunteer officers and board of directors manage
all organizational operations. We contract with social service agencies
for client case management.
The Challenge
On any given day, thousands of homeless individuals and families are living in the streets, alleys and parks of Washington.
Many are local residents. Others migrate to the city, seeking help. Most are
battling chronic mental illness or chemical dependency.
The Anne Frank House focuses its program in Washington, where hundreds of men and women are homeless. We are committed to helping our neighbors in need, with housing, social services and friendship.
Strategy
AFH's first project was a group home for women, which it operated for 12
years in a rented property. In 1996, AFH's strategy shifted to
acquiring individual apartments in the District's Ward 3, where our
sponsor, Adas Israel, is located. Now, faced with soaring condominium
prices, AFH is shifting back to a rental strategy to serve additional
clients.
AFH currently owns four efficiency apartments in
Cathedral Heights, Woodley Heights, Glover Park, and Chevy Chase, DC.
We also rent one apartment in Brightwood, four in Cathedral Heights and one on 16th Street. These units house two women and nine men.
The Community Council for the Homeless at Friendship Place provides case management for eight clients. One is served by PLAN of MD/DC and one by the District’s Department of Mental Health.
