POH partners with DC families from low-income backgrounds, including many immigrant and multilingual households, to build paths to multi-generational success. Its cross-disciplinary approach brings some 50 families each year into cohorts to build community and share resources as they address family success in affordable housing, asset building, child development, arts, education, health, and wellness. Families set their own goals in bilingual coaching sessions, work on self-identified needs like financial skills and parenting in workshops, and build social capital across cohorts at regular peer gatherings. Alumni families often stay engaged, leading workshops for the wider network. Continued partnerships with Jubilee Housing, Mary’s Center, Sitar Arts Center, and Jubilee JumpStart ensure POH remains uniquely positioned to navigate and expedite access to services for families across different fields, addressing systemic barriers as a community.
