FREE & OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY

DC is losing thousands of federal jobs.

Family homelessness is already up 15.8% this year.

Meanwhile, families are cycling off Rapid Rehousing into a rental market that produced just 17% of its normal housing supply last year.

SNAP work requirements and TANF reductions are the final layer — for families already holding everything together by a thread.


June 13th is about making sure no family faces what is coming this summer alone.
— Iris E. Patten, PhD (Pivot Founder & CEO)

Activities & Amenities

Bring the Whole Family

June 13th is a community celebration as much as it is a resource event. There's something here for everyone.

HOW IT WORKS

A three-tier engagement model

Tier 1 - Strategic Infrastructure

Provides the analytical methodology, program design, compliance documentation, and systems-level strategy that gives community engagement its backbone and its evidence base. Pivot ensures that every intervention is needs-based, outcome-tracked, and grounded in rigorous geospatial intelligence.

Pivot Partnerships

Tier 2 - Local Infrastructure

Community-rooted organizations that manage program operations, participant enrollment, and service coordination within their geography. Coordinating Organizations are vetted partners who carry the trust of the communities they serve and the operational capacity to manage multi-household caseloads.

Coordinating Organizations

Tier 3 - Direct Engagement

Frontline organizations and individuals who maintain direct relationships with households in need. Anchor Partners surface families who would benefit from enrollment, provide on-the-ground navigation support, and serve as the human connection in what is otherwise an institutional system.
