You & Your Community
DC residents’ needs drive our work. We ask our neighbors about their needs and then we engage and empower residents to improve their lives and neighborhoods.
“UPO is embedded in the community. Most importantly, it’s the people UPO brings, who commit themselves and keep their commitment to making a difference.
You & Your Community
Advocacy Initiatives
How do you and your neighbors become more powerful? By joining our Community Advocacy, Legislative Advocacy, and Volunteer programs. Together, we create grassroots change.
Community Health
We support health and well-being through education, treatment, and outreach; ensure that people can keep food on their tables; protect people who are living on the streets, and then help them move from homelessness to stability.
Community Impact
Our devoted team works hand-in-hand with residents to tackle the causes and conditions of poverty in 4 Community Impact Zones.
