Samaritan Inns is proud to announce the Campaign for Hope!
This campaign will enable us to reach more men and women in need; and for the first time: the critically underserved pop
ulation of addicted mothers and their children. Renovations continue at the Harvard Street Inn, where the unprecedented Women with Dependent Children program will help break the cycle of addiction by providing a multitude of services to both mothers and their children.
The Campaign for Hope will also allow Samaritan Inns to expand it’s transition programs, serving an additional 50 men and 30 women per year with specialized counseling and support services; and will strengthen the infrastructure that supports Samaritan Inns’ eight residential properties.
For thousands of addicted men and women in the District of Columbia, hope began at Samaritan Inns. Their lives were transformed by the effective treatment programs administered by our expert staff. Their lives were transformed by having a safe home and a stable community to support their recovery. And their lives were transformed by the will and grace of God.
But with more than 10,000 homless and tens of thousands at risk of being homeless in our region, and a rate of drug and alcohol abuse over 11%; our work is far from over.

June 7th was the day set by Deloitte to partake in their yearly IMPACT DAY 2014, and Samaritan Inns was more than happy to be participating again. Typically Deloitte comes to Samaritan Inns to provide a day of financial and career mentorship for our residents, which in turns gives them the tools to face the world ahead.
This year they came to tackle a beautification project at our Mozart Inn locations. A group of energetic and enthusiastic workers dressed in blue came to Elisha’s Houseready to tackle this day of service! After an impactful morning program they walked over to begin work at the Inns. The day was filled with landscaping, painting and camaraderie among the staff here at Samaritan inns and Deloitte. It was truly and a great day of service and was well received by the residents who occupied that property. On behalf of the staff and residents of Samaritan Inns, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Deloitte and cannot wait for next year’s IMPACT DAY!
