Appointments are available both in person and online through telehealth.

Our Partnership to Independence (P2I) Program is a 3-to-5-year program offering long-term, intensive, multi-generational support to families in Washington Highlands and surrounding areas who are facing barriers to stability. 

The initiative focuses on helping individuals living with low incomes achieve success related to employment and professional development, financial management, stable housing, and health and well-being. 

The first cohort of the P2I program is now entering its fifth and final year. The second cohort launched in February 2023, and is based at our Ward 8 Hub. 

Email p2i@awidercircle.org or call 202-891-7894 to learn more.

Community microgrants are yearly grants offered by the Ward 8 Hub to Washington Highlands community members with proposals to enrich the neighborhood. Proposals are considered and selected by a committee of neighborhood residents, and funded by A Wider Circle. Learn about our most recent community microgrants here.

Future rounds of funding will be announced on our social media channels.

We do not have any bilingual staff working full-time at this location, but we are generally able to accommodate other commonly spoken languages by getting another staff member or volunteer to provide interpretation via phone or email, or by using an app such as Google Translate. We always welcome clients providing their own interpreter, including ASL, if needed.

We are a community-based organization located in Washington Highlands, but our resources are open for anyone to use. We provide services for anyone in need of support or community.
