Joseph's House

Joseph’s House is a residential respite care home in NW Washington, DC that serves primarily previously homeless adults of all gender identities with advanced HIV disease. For most of these residents, some combination of mental illness, stigma, isolation, substance use, poverty and/or violence have prevented them from successfully managing their HIV .

Once medically stabilized, many Joseph’s House residents transition to post residential case management. These services can include medication management, housing, counseling, life skills training, advocacy, transportation and community activities.

Commitment to Justice, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Our organization is dedicated to eliminating racial inequities and we seek to create a diverse workforce that shares in this commitment to justice. Joseph’s House will not discriminate against applicants or employees on the basis of race, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, age, national origin, religious beliefs, physical handicap, marital status, ancestry, past incarceration unrelated to job responsibilities, or liability for service in the armed forces of the United States.

Contemplative Care

Our mindfulness and awareness practices help us turn toward suffering, rather than hurry past it. Applicants must have a desire and readiness to deepen their spiritual and personal growth through their service and interactions with all members of the Joseph’s House community.
