N Street Village Team 2011-2012 Recap:

N Street Village (NSV) is a nonprofit located in Ward 2 that serves nearly 900 homeless and low-income women from all over the District. The NSV team started off by learning about these women and the case-management, residential, medical, and crisis support services NSV offers to them. Then, the team decided to address some of the unmet needs of the nonresidential women who access crisis care. Specifically, they decided to develop single-step Smart Start guides for circumventing some of the most commonly reported barriers these women face. The guides focus on housing, employment, transportation, legal services, legal documents (birth certificates, social security cards, identification cards), SNAP, health insurance (DC Healthcare Alliance and Medicaid), and TB testing. The project serves as an important starting place for returning women to a state of physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being.
