About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to collaborate across sectors to end all chronic homelessness in our nation's capital.
About
From meals to housing, we provide a variety of services to honor the dignity of people experiencing homelessness, create a place of belonging, and achieve long-term change. Unlike most organizations that provide services directly to people experiencing homelessness in DC, we work at the system level to address root causes and to bring about change. We are pleased to be part of a cross-sector partnership that has brought down veteran homelessness 40% and chronic homelessness 22% since 2013. Each year MK provides basic, urgent services to about 4,000 individuals experiencing homelessness. We also work more intensely with 1,200 of those guests helping them to increase their income (e.g. applying for disability benefits or social security), improve their health (connecting them to mental/health care appointments), and secure housing. We do this in partnership with social workers, psychiatrists, doctors, nurses, and lawyers from partner organizations to provide a variety of high-quality services all in one place - our dining room.
