Located at the heart of the Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Blvd. neighborhood, the Victory Connector is a crucial harm reduction program designed to engage the most entrenched, street-based homeless individuals who are reluctant to connect with other systems of care.
The goal of the Victory Connector is to provide a wide array of harm reduction services to women-centered and transgender individuals at great risk for opioid overdose and infectious disease acquisition to help them improve their health, stabilize, and ultimately exit street life.
