Based in Washington, DC, Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area (LSSNCA) operates as a health and human services organization focused on immigration relief and refugee welcoming, serving the District of Columbia and the surrounding Maryland and Virginia communities. Founded in 1917, it provides long-term support to families, youth, children, and individuals rebuilding their lives beyond the initial arrival. The organization is accredited by COA Accreditation, a service of Social Current. It serves refugees, forced migrants, immigrants, children and youth, and underserved communities, with a focus on fostering resiliency, self-sufficiency, and access to opportunities through trauma-informed mental health services and community-centered programs. In 2025, LSSNCA launched a Social Enterprise Services arm to broaden its impact and create sustainable revenue streams to support its core mission.
