Data and Quality Assurance Specialist

Chronic homelessness for families in DC is down by 20%!  Largely, this is because of the success of the Family Rehousing Stabilization Program (FRSP) across the District.  Housing Up has been providing FRSP to families for almost a decade.  In that time, our team has helped hundreds of families leave the shelter, obtain their own apartment, and become more self-sufficient.  Over the past three years, 96% of Housing Up families have not returned to the system for shelter or services after exiting our FRSP program.
