Founded in 1896 in Baltimore, MD by social reformers, Ballington and Maud Booth, we were one of the first of over 30 affiliates of Volunteers of America – one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive human services organizations. Together we touch the lives of 1.5 million people in over 400 communities in 46 states each year, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. At VOACC, we have been helping to create Healthy Communities for All for over 125 years by aligning housing, health and human services.

Through a dedicated team of management, staff and volunteers who are guided by our Core Values – Visionary, One Body, Integrity, Compassion, Excellence, and Faith – we are the safety net for thousands of men, women and children each year across Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia and the Carolinas.
