Since 1917, Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area (LSSNCA), a human services and immigration relief and refugee welcome agency, has accompanied those in need throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. to foster resiliency, self-sufficiency, and access to opportunities. We provide services that last beyond just the initial arrival for families, youth, children, and individuals rebuilding their lives in the D.C. metro area. Motivated daily by our belief in the inherent dignity of all, LSSNCA’s innovative, participant-informed programs serve refugees, forced migrants, immigrants, children, and youth, as well as underserved communities, by filling in the gaps.
