Our Why

What makes us different ?

Simply put: We know us. As practitioners and community development experts, viewing the world through this shared lens gives us a deeper understanding of the distinct cultural needs of our community. For years, society has tried to solve these challenges from the outside-in. But, we believe in a more grassroots approach that brings solutions to your doorstep — right in the areas where you live and work — to improve accessibility and push towards real results.

Everyone has the right to the highest attainable standard of healthcare— that’s one of our core beliefs. We understand that poverty is a condition which can be alleviated with socially supportive programs. People and communities are empowered when resources are mobilized to meet their needs.

This isn’t just business — it’s deeply personal. We know what it's like to be marginalized, misunderstood, and under-resourced. Our commitment to transforming the neighborhoods in which we work drives us to serve with compassion and excellence.

Our ecosystem of comprehensive, coordinated behavioral health and housing services works to ensure that those we serve have the tools necessary to achieve health, wellbeing, and economic empowerment.

The future of human services is ever-changing. With a spirit of innovation, we are breaking through long standing barriers and exploring non-traditional partnerships that are mutually beneficial and directed towards a common goal — transforming lives and healing communities.

Community Wellness Ventures is not what we do, it’s who we are. And we are leading from the front.

Our Work

We provide people with the highest level of person-centered care based on a highly effective strategy that combines affordable housing with intensive, coordinated health and human services.

Community Wellness Ventures (CWV) is revolutionizing the provision of behavioral health care in the District of Columbia and beyond. We provide people with the highest level of person-centered care based on a highly effective strategy that combines affordable housing with intensive, coordinated health and human services. 

The CWV holistic model of care underscores the reality that effective service delivery addresses the systemic needs of individuals, families, and communities. We believe that the housing, employment, physical health, public safety and justice, educational, and other overall WELLNESS needs of our clients are central to their behavioral health treatment.

01. Delivering Real Solutions.

CWV’s innovative treatment centers and ground-breaking Wellness Villages offer comprehensive support services that contribute to a person’s holistic well-being – mind, body, and spirit. We utilize cutting-edge data-based decision-making methodologies to inform our treatment approaches toward the ultimate goal of Transforming Lives and Healing Communities.

02. Making An Impact.

People look to CWV for lasting solutions to systemic challenges. We are the problem-solvers, the hand-raisers, the game-changers. Our approach to fight for the health, education and financial stability of those we serve combines research, public policy, and direct service delivery.

03. Shaping the Future.

We are changing the conversation and disrupting the future of healthcare by building a sustainable, evidence-based, outcomes-focused method of care. This isn’t a “fly-by-night” program; CWV is a model for a whole-system re-orientation in direct response to the specific needs of the most vulnerable and disinvested communities.

We are grateful to our clients and partners who enable us to serve the community:

We have been certified by the DC Department of Small and Local Business Development and accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.

Our Mission

We know that comprehensive methods yield comprehensive results.
