Carrie Simon House-Washington Hebrew Congregation

For nearly two decades, Carrie Simon House (CSH) has provided a safe and supportive home for homeless young women and their babies. Join our committee or support CSH in other ways and help us provide a new start for these fragile, young families. CSH gives young mothers between the ages of 18 and 25 a stable place to live while they conclude their schooling or job training and helps these women to prepare for independent and productive lives. Committee members act as mentors to the residents, plan cultural outings, work on fundraising, manage house maintenance, supervise donations to the house, and much more. In recent years, CSH has helped residents become licensed to drive, begin college, pass the G.E.D. exam, and complete job training. Former residents have gone on to work for the federal government, graduate from college, and live independently. In addition, over the past two years, through the generous support of several Temple members and our wonderful Sisterhood, we have been able to make many much-needed repairs and improvements to the facility.
