It’s time again for our biggest event of the year – the Annual Steps to Pathways Breakfast. Time to connect our community of people and organizations devoted to helping those with serious mental illnesses, and often homelessness, to regain their dignity and lives.

The annual hot breakfast buffet event raises funds and awareness for Pathways’ work to prevent and end homelessness. It features speakers including Pathway clients, civic leaders, and awardees.

The annual event supports Pathways—a nonprofit providing mental health services starting with safe, stable housing to individuals marginalized by poverty and inequity.

For more than 45 years, Pathway Homes has enabled tens of thousands of people in the National Capital region with serious mental illnesses and other co-occurring disabilities to access affordable housing and critical supportive services to help them recover their lives.  Following a housing-focused model, Pathway Homes is a partner in preventing and ending homelessness, touching nearly 2,000 lives each year and ensuring access to affordable stable homes in permanent supportive housing units.
