Friendship Place is in need of event support staff for our upcoming Spring Symposium. Our panelists will discuss the journey families experiencing homelessness take from short-term housing, to voucher-supported housing programs, and to low-cost options in the area. Our goal is to discuss how non-profit organizations, advocates, and corporations can work together to facilitate that journey.
Hosted by Ray Suarez. Our panel includes Nan Roman, President and CEO, National Alliance to End Homelessness, Jeffery Hayward, Executive Vice President & Head of Multifamily, Fannie Mae, Joseph LeMense, Managing Director, United Bank, Patrick McAnaney, Project Manager, Somerset Development Company and Sue Marshall, Executive Director, Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness.

Mission Statement
At our core, our mission is to help people facing or at risk of homelessness to secure stable housing and embark on a new chapter in their lives. Our ultimate vision is for DC and beyond to be a place where everybody can find a place they can call "home."
Description
Friendship Place is staffed by over 100 people and has a wide reach in the DC Metro area. The highly successful programs have been given numerous awards, and help make a lasting difference in the lives of over 4,500 people yearly through street outreach, free medical and psychiatric clinic, including drop-in care, case management, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing for veterans and their families as well as job placement and specialized programs. Our program results have been incredibly successful, and various government and nonprofit organizations all over the country are studying our models to replicate our achievements.
Nonetheless, Friendship Place-supported by 26 congregations and more than 300 volunteers a year-retains the feel of a small, caring, neighborhood organization. The most commonly repeated refrain we hear from the people who come to us for help is this: "At other agencies, I felt like a number. At Friendship Place, I’m treated like a human being."
