Mission Statement: 

SOME exists to help the poor and homeless of our nationÂ’s capital. We meet the immediate daily needs of the people we serve with food, clothing, and health care. We help break the cycle of homelessness by offering services such as affordable housing, job training, addiction treatment, and counseling to the very poor and the elderly.

CORE VALUES
Interfaith approach of service to our
brothers and sisters in need

Empowering the people we serve by respecting their
human dignity and by helping them to restore hope in their lives

Advocacy on behalf of the poor in collaborative partnerships to
address the root causes of homelessness, hunger and poverty

Responsible stewardship of the resources
provided by our donors, volunteers and employees


VISION
SOME is a trusted agent for change that has broken the cycle of homelessness and hunger in the nationÂ’s capital. Through our partnerships and expanding comprehensive continuum of services, those in need have realized their full human potential. Everyone who wants a job has one; everyone has affordable housing, medical care and food. Everyone who wants addiction and mental health treatment receives it; everyone who needs literacy learns to read and write.
