Everyone Home DC Receives Continued Support from Capitol Hill Community Foundation
Through its Spring and Fall grant cycles, Capitol Hill Community Foundation provides steady annual support for Everyone Home DC’s Street Outreach Program, Drop-In Day Center, and Day Center Maintenance Fund—along with additional Bill Phillips Grant funding in Fall 2025.
Everyone Home DC is grateful for the Capitol Hill Community Foundation’s continued support of our work with neighbors experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty in Capitol Hill.
Through both its Spring and Fall grant cycles, the Capitol Hill Community Foundation has been a consistent and loyal partner in supporting three core areas of our single adult services: our Street Outreach Program, Drop-In Day Center, and Day Center Maintenance Fund. This recurring support has become an important and dependable part of our annual funding picture, helping us sustain critical services for some of our community’s most vulnerable neighbors.
Each year, the Foundation invests in these programs through both grant cycles, providing support that helps us maintain continuity in outreach, basic needs services, and the upkeep of the physical space that makes our Day Center possible. We now budget $18,000 annually from the Capitol Hill Community Foundation, and we are increasingly dependent on this loyal partnership as we work to meet the community’s growing needs.
We were especially honored in the Fall 2025 cycle to also receive the Bill Phillips Grant for Social Services, a $10,000 award given in memory of Foundation colleague William H. Phillips. This special grant is awarded to support programs that address health care, housing, legal issues, and well-being for Capitol Hill residents. Bill Phillips lived by a simple but powerful rule: “Do good and be a good neighbor.” That spirit resonates deeply with Everyone Home DC’s mission and with the way we seek to walk alongside our neighbors each day.
Support from the Capitol Hill Community Foundation helps make it possible for Everyone Home DC to remain a consistent presence in the community. Through Street Outreach, we engage neighbors experiencing unsheltered homelessness, meet urgent needs, and help connect individuals to benefits, services, and pathways toward permanent housing. Through our Drop-In Day Center, we provide meals, showers, laundry, mail service, essential supplies, and one-on-one support in a safe and welcoming space. With support for our Maintenance Fund, we can preserve and care for the Day Center facility so it remains functional, safe, and ready to serve.
With support for our Maintenance Fund, we can preserve and care for the Day Center facility (an aging row house near the Potomac Ave Metro stop) so it remains functional, safe, and ready to serve. That looks like real, everyday investments—refreshing bathrooms to keep up with the volume of showers our guests rely on, repairing and repainting water-damaged walls, and replacing aging infrastructure like our back gate with something safer and more reliable. It also allows us to take on larger projects, such as supporting a major HVAC upgrade that moved our AC unit off the roof to avoid service disruptions and ensure consistent heating and cooling for years to come, and replacing washers and dryers used constantly by our community.
Everyone Home DC is deeply grateful to the Capitol Hill Community Foundation for its longstanding partnership and steadfast investment in our work. Their support reflects a real commitment to the well-being of Capitol Hill residents and helps ensure that our neighbors can continue accessing safety, dignity, and meaningful pathways toward stability.
