United Planning Organization

United Planning Organization (UPO) helps Washington, DC, residents pursue economic security and stronger communities through programs, partnerships, and advocacy. Its work includes housing, employment, education, health, and support for people experiencing homelessness.

UPO partners with developers to deliver affordable homes for households with lower incomes. Through its affordable housing work, the organization also connects residents with support related to education, employment, and health. Its Permanent Supportive Housing program provides intensive case management and wraparound services for people and families moving out of homelessness.

UPO also operates a Shelter Hotline that connects people experiencing homelessness with shelter, healthcare, social services, and case management resources.
