Arica’s story is about more than housing, it’s about what can happen when someone finally has support, stability, and people in their corner.

From experiencing homelessness while pregnant with twins to earning college degrees and raising her children in a safe, stable home, Arica’s journey is powerful.

Being a father comes with a lot of responsibility, pressure, and emotions that don’t always get talked about out loud. That’s why spaces like 24/7 Dads exist.

24/7 Dads is our monthly fatherhood group where dads come together to connect, share real experiences, and build confidence in parenting and in themselves. Each session opens the door for honest conversation about fatherhood, emotional wellness, and what it means to show up for your family while also taking care of yourself.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re holding space for dads too, because strong families start with supported parents.
If you’re a father looking for community, tools, and support, we’d love to have you join us.

Laurencia trusted her body long before her baby arrived, and that trust shaped everything about her birth experience.

A chef, wife, mother, and DC native, she chose Community of Hope's birth center for its supportive, relationship-centered care and experienced the kind of calm, attentive support every parent deserves. From early labor at home to a powerful delivery surrounded by a care team that listened closely, her journey reflects the importance of being seen, heard, and supported throughout pregnancy and birth.

Today, we’re celebrating the many roles nurses play across Community of Hope. From supporting patients through care transitions to helping manage chronic conditions and working alongside community health workers, our nurses help make whole-person care possible every day.

Their impact goes far beyond the exam room — building trust, improving health outcomes, and helping patients feel supported at every step of their care journey. Happy International Nurses Day to all of the incredible nurses who care for our community. 💙

🚨Take action to protect DC’s Family Success Centers.🚨

These centers connect families to critical resources like housing support, employment assistance, parenting programs, benefits navigation, and trusted community care, helping families find stability before challenges become crises.

This work matters, and continued funding is essential to keep these supports accessible for DC families.
Add your voice and urge DC leaders to protect Family Success Centers. Visit www.communityofhopedc.org/protect-dcs-family-success-centers to take action today.

Motherhood can hold a lot at once—love, joy, exhaustion, uncertainty. And for many parents, it can also come with feelings that aren’t often talked about.

During Mental Health Month, we’re creating space for honest conversations about maternal mental health. Because struggling doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong, it means you may need support.

At Community of Hope, we integrate your emotional wellness into your care from pregnancy through postpartum, so you’re supported every step of the way.

You’re not alone in this.

“This is it — I’m home.” 🏡

For Vernada, leaving everything behind wasn’t just a move, it was an act of survival and love for her children. What she carried with her was faith that things could be different.

Through Community of Hope, she found shelter, healthcare, nutrition support through WIC, and a path forward.
Today, her family has stability again, and a space that belongs to them.

Thank you to CNN for featuring our innovative Housing Our Newborns, Empowering You program. As our CEO, Kelly Sweeney McShane, states here – it really does create a bridge between healthcare providers and homelessness services providers. We are so grateful to partner with Department of Human Services to bring these supports to pregnant moms experiencing homelessness!

And, it makes a deep difference, as you’ll hear from both Calie and Breonna in this video! They loved their care coordinators who connected them to resources every step of their journey!

Overall, moms and babies experience significantly better outcomes as the independent evaluation from George Washington University Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Excellence showcases.
