What

is Virginia Williams Family Resource Center?

Virginia Williams Family Resource Center (VWFRC) is the central point of intake for families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in the District. Families may go to VWFRC to apply for preventative and emergency services.

What Services are Offered at VWFRC?

Families seeking emergency assistance around their housing instability are assessed to determine the severity of their needs. VWFRC is not a shelter. Eligible families receive services such as prevention resources, including emergency rental, or temporary emergency shelter.

Who is Considered Homeless ?

Families currently facing housing instability must complete an assessment to determine their needs and appropriate resources. The staff at VWFRC have been trained to respond to families’ needs based on the results of this assessment. The VWFRC team will work with the family to support them in moving to safe, stable, and appropriate housing as quickly as possible.

Where Do I Go If I’m In Need of Homeless Services?

VWFRC serves as the central point of intake for families experiencing housing instability in the District of Columbia. VWFRC is located at 920-A Rhode Island Avenue, NE, Washington, DC 20018.

When Can I Go to VWFRC?

The VWFRC is open Monday- Thursday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and Friday, 8:30 am - 12:00 noon. The telephone number is 202.526.0017. After business hours, families can call the Shelter Hotline for information about services and resources at 202.399.7093 or 311.

DC’s First Stabilization Center

Location: 35 K Street NE | Hours of Operation: Walk-in available 24-7

What is it?

The Stabilization Center provides emergency crisis intervention, typically lasting 24–72 hours, for those experiencing substance use disorder. Services are provided to those who are 18 years and older and are free of charge with no insurance or residency requirements necessary.

The DC Stabilization Center offers:

Specialty care:

• Patients receive an individualized treatment plan based on an initial observation

• The center offers approved medication (buprenorphine) on the spot which, when combined with counseling, is effective in the treatment of opioid use disorders and can help some people sustain recovery

Empathetic care:

• Peer specialists trained in cultural competency work one-on-one with patients to navigate their recovery and refer them to appropriate long-term treatment options

• No one is ever turned away from services and services are provided in English and Spanish to support a wider group of individuals

• A team of on-site multidisciplinary care providers such as nurse practitioners, registered nurses, certified peers, recovery coaches, and patient care technicians will link the patient to resources that can help sustain their health after discharge, such as housing assistance, help with filling out paperwork, or help with reinstating insurance

A safe space and environment to recover:

• The facility features recliners or patient beds in a comfortable, quiet, private setting to begin the stabilization process

• Patients can lock personal items in a secure locker during the intake process

• Patients are closely monitored by medical professionals and staff throughout the course of the stabilization process, including medical screenings and observations

Pathway to long-term recovery:

• Patients receive referrals and placements into long-term treatment options

• Individuals are connected to ongoing substance use disorder treatment at one of the 29 DBH-certified provider locations across DC in all eight wards

What are the benefits of the stabilization center?

• Provides relief for hospital emergency rooms and emergency psychiatric centers

• Offers a cost-effective and time-effective alternative to ER visits for intoxication

• Individuals who receive care at the Stabilization Center can get connected to long-term care and other resources and programs that support recovery

• Gets people the “right care, right now” and prevents escalation to other harmful or dangerous behaviors

• Increases the chance that the intoxicated individual will be open to receiving care
