FISCAL YEAR 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
OUR WORKFriends of Guest House serves women across our three core programs: Residential, Aftercare, and Outreach.
RESIDENTIALThanks to you, 71 women participated in the Friends of Guest House six-month res-idential program. Guest House is the ONLY prison-to-community reentry program in Northern Virginia, and the largest in the state of Virginia, that is tailored to wom-en’s unique needs—and that addresses those needs comprehensively, spanning healthcare, jobs, education, housing, and family/community reconnection.
AFTERCAREIn Fiscal Year 2020, the Aftercare program served 81 women who successful-ly completed the Residential program. Thanks to you, they received contin-ued case management and support services to help meet the challenges of independent living.
OUTREACHThe non-residential outreach program provided case management and support services to 96 women who moved directly from incarceration to community hous-ing. Case managers helped women meet basic needs, navigate public assistance systems, acquire affordable housing, obtain employment, and re-establish their role as a parent. Guest House also delivered pre-release services, including men-toring and workforce and life skills, to 86 women who were incarcerated in the Alexandria, Arlington, and Prince William Adult Detention Centers.
Friends of Guest House helps women successfully reenter the community from incarceration. Since our founding in 1974, Guest House has helped more than 4,000 women break the vicious cycle of incarceration, reunite with their families, and reintegrate into their communities.

“Guest House gave me the oppor-tunity to transition back into the community realistically. There were opportunities to improve and challenge myself. I had freedom to learn and grow, but I knew the staff was always there to support me along the way.”
“They were my family. They took care of the basic things so I could focus on my health and my future. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Guest House.”
“The structure of the program was challenging at times, but it was helpful and necessary for my growth as a person.”
