About Anne’s Place. In 1987 volunteers at Adas Israel Congregation in Washington, DC founded Anne Frank House (now Anne’s Place, Inc), a tax-exempt charitable organization under section 501(c)(3). For 35 years volunteers raised funds to maintain housing and professional case management to help people rebuild their lives in safety and dignity. As part of our current strategic plan for growth, in 2025, Anne’s Place successfully demonstrated for the first time in our 37-year history, a new partnership with the DC Department of Human Services. We are people who believe in the power of community action.
