Our Housing and Behavioral Health Services teams came together at Fort Dupont Park for the second annual Reclaiming Our Community Cookout! 🧡 Residents, clients, seniors, staff, and neighbors enjoyed music, cookout favorites, face painting, games, and resources from community partners.

Thank you to our sponsors, including Target , AARP , Wegmans , and Millennium Sports Riders, and to every partner who showed up and tabled.

Shoutout to the SOME teams who made it happen!

A ride should never be the reason someone misses the care they need.

We are proud to be part of the new cohort of Health Access Fund grantees, a joint initiative from Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) and Uber that expands free, reliable transportation for patients.

For many of the people we serve, getting to a medical or dental appointment means juggling bus transfers, long walks, and costs that add up fast. Missed appointments become delayed care, and delayed care becomes can become a crisis. This funding helps us remove that barrier so our neighbors can show up for their health, consistently and with dignity.

Thank you to LISC and Uber for investing in health access here in DC.
For more information please call: 202-797-8806

On Saturday, friends and supporters gathered at the Cathedral for the 2026 Break the Cycle Gala. The room was filled with generosity, purpose, and a shared belief that every neighbor deserves a place to call home.

Thanks to our entire SOME community, we raised more than $1.3 million to help our neighbors find housing, meals, healthcare, and the support they need to build brighter futures. Whether you joined us that night, gave from afar, volunteer with us, or champion our mission every day, you are part of that legacy. We were honored to celebrate our awardees and recognize Leslie Hortum’s extraordinary leadership. Their dedication reminds us what is possible when people show up for one another.

Our mission remains the same: to walk alongside our neighbors in need and help create pathways to stability, opportunity, and hope. None of this happens alone, and we are so grateful to stand with you.

The work continues every single day, and we can’t wait to keep building it together.

At SOME, we support our neighbors by focusing on the whole person. Our daytime program, ABLE (After Breakfast Lateral Engagement), offers adults a welcoming space to connect with community, build skills, and access resources.

From computer classes and job readiness support to creative activities and case management, ABLE helps neighbors take steps toward stability and opportunity.
Hear from ABLE clients about what that support means in their day-to-day lives. Your donations and your time make this work possible.

Thank you for standing with our neighbors.

Catch up with SOME in the community. From sharing our mission and programs with Altria employees as they assembled 100 grooming kits for our guests, to connecting with neighbors at community days in Ward 8 and Capitol Heights, we’re grateful for every opportunity to build partnerships, share resources, and strengthen our impact across the region.
