Bethany, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, tax exempt organization dedicated to helping homeless families in Washington, DC break the devastating cycle of poverty and life traumas. Bethany’s initial mission was to provide affordable housing and comprehensive support services to homeless families with children recovering from addiction. The first step in fulfilling our mission was to purchase a building. Many families were affected and displaced in the area. The building we chose to buy was an 8-unit apartment building at 1715 V St. SE in the Anacostia area of DC. The building was abandoned because of misuse and a fire. Bethany’s vision was to restore and transform the building in to a space of safety, love and nurture for homeless families.
