Woodley House, Inc.
Community-based housing and support services for the mentally ill. A leader in mental health treatment & recovery for over 50 years!
Woodley House provides safe,
community-based housing and clinical services for the mentally ill -
that next step or ‘step-down’ toward independence from hospitals,
institutions or shelters. Our housing options in neighborhoods
throughout Washington, DC, include temporary crisis care,
transitional and long-term supported independent living. Our
treatment program provides psychiatric monitoring and comprehensive
support services to help over 300 mentally ill clients a year (both
private and publically-funded) work toward recovery and a return to
the community.
Consumers are important members of their treatment teams and help to
create their own recovery plan. They are always treated with dignity
and respect. Our programs are designed to help consumers move to
independence, at their own pace, with appropriate support services
to prepare them to return to the community.
Woodley House works closely with the Department of Mental Health and
other mental health agencies to provide continuity of care for our
consumers. Funded by government grants and fees, as well as private
foundations and individual donations, Woodley House is dedicated to
serving those struggling to recover from mental illness. Please

Speaking of Woodley House …
“Woodley House has been the model for recovery for years, emphasizing dignity and function” Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter at the 50th Anniversary Woodley House Conference in October 2008.
“Over the years, we have learned that individuals need what is known as a continuum of care … Woodley House is a facility that has become a model for the nation for this continuum of care that it provides to those who are homeless and mentally ill.” Former Vice President Al Gore, Jr. at the 40th Anniversary Woodley House Conference in 1998.
“Before coming to Woodley House I was ashamed to let people know about my mental illness. I thought they would treat me differently - staff at Woodley House never did this. I was always viewed first and foremost as a person. They listened to me and I appreciate that more than words can express.”
Former Woodley House consumer.
