Since its inception in 2023, this community program has provided outreach and support to 10,595 people who are struggling with substance abuse, homelessness, and food insecurity. Many who are homeless suffer from addiction. ACM distributed more than 3,000 doses of Naloxone, helping to prevent overdoses. This year, 54 individuals were referred to treatment services and received education on harm reduction. Our outreach teams continue to support vulnerable populations by providing clothing, educational counseling, cooked meals, and other quality-of-life resources.

Washington, D.C. neighborhoods experience poverty rates as high as 50% in certain areas, leading to food insecurity, homelessness, limited healthcare, and a lack of job opportunities. ACM’s services and programs address these barriers with trauma-informed services, including conflict resolution, restorative justice, and direct trauma support.

Staff members offer relatable guidance, transforming personal experiences into community healing. ACM’s organizational capacity is evident in its structured team communications, regular progress assessments, and a robust data framework implemented in 2020 to enhance service monitoring, reporting, and community-responsive adjustments.
