Hogares currently offers three programs:

Latino Transitional Housing Partnership (LTHP) - LTHP offers scattered-site transitional housing, primarily in Ward 1, with a maximum stay of 18 months.  Participants receive supportive services during and after their transition for an additional six-twelve months, totaling up to 30 months of services. LTHP is committed to removing the barriers that prevent low-income immigrant populations from securing permanent stable housing in the District of Columbia.  Currently, LTHP rents ten properties comprising twenty units of housing, ranging from efficiencies to four bedroom single family homes.

Sin Barreras - Sin Barreras provides scattered-site multicultural permanent supportive housing to eight (8) families whose lives are impacted by a disability. Participants will have a variety of training and counseling options at their disposal, access to educational and employment training as well as medical care, legal assistance, developmental screening, and childcare.  Support in obtaining self-sufficiency is also provided by holding a portion of rental payments in trust to help participants save money as they are developing other areas of their lives.

Housing Counseling - Housing counseling plays a significant role in increasing homeownership, particularly for minority families who want to make their American Dream come true.  Counseling is also a fundamental factor in combating predatory lending which plagues minority communities. First-time minority homebuyers are especially vulnerable to predatory lending practices. Housing counseling is one of the most cost-effective ways to educate borrowers on matters such as inflated appraisals, interest rates and the mortgage settlement process.  Currently, we have two certified housing counselors on staff prepared to conduct crisis counseling as well as advice for first-time home buyers.

Shelter Plus Care (S+C) - As a sponsoring agency, Hogares manages slots for the S+C program, evaluating and placing applicants within the program. S+C programs are designed to link rental assistance to supportive services, in this case Hogares’, for hard-to-serve homeless persons, with serious or multiple disabilities, and their families. Hogares develops and maintains relationships with property owners and managers who provide the housing component of this program.
