Bread for the City is currently seeking volunteers bilingual in Amharic and English to help with our Housing Access Program! Through the Housing Access Program, we strive to help clients navigate the steps to finding and applying for affordable housing.
At our Amharic housing clinics, clients receive information on how to apply for affordable housing in Washington, DC. Volunteers are needed to work with Amharic speaking clients in small groups or one-to-one to assist with filling out forms, completing affordable housing applications and answering questions.
