Three Oaks Center offers programs that provide the homeless in Southern Maryland with housing, stabilization, assessment, and referral to appropriate resources so that they may return to living productive, self-sufficient lives in our community.
Three Oaks Homeless Shelter Inc centers its funding on homelessness response in Southern Maryland, with grants tied to emergency housing, prevention, and housing stabilization. The largest recent award in the record was $699,267 to Lifestyles of Maryland Inc in La Plata for the Homeless Solutions Program and Emergency Housing Program, followed by a $398,235 grant to Catholic Charities in Washington, DC for HSP, ESG-CV1, and EHP activities. Those awards fit a broader pattern of public grant and government-funded passthrough support for direct services, especially for people experiencing homelessness and households at immediate risk of losing housing.

Its recent grants include support for Project Echo Inc in Prince Frederick, alongside county agencies in Prince Frederick and Leonardtown. The active grant-program data shows a repeated emphasis on outreach for unsheltered households, shelter operations, housing stabilization, and rapid rehousing, with a strong focus on Southern Maryland and tri-county coordination. Leadership is listed as S M Seenath, and the organization’s overall giving sits at $2,127,659 for the latest year on file.

Typical grants cluster in the mid five- and low six-figure range, with a p25 of $70,163, a median of $116,568, and a p75 of $341,842. The recent record shows both large multi-program awards and smaller county-agency grants, which suggests layered support for operating and programmatic needs. Grants appear year after year, including repeated funding to the same recipients across 2023 and 2024. The foundation is a nonprofit organization rather than a donor-advised fund, and it makes no program-related investments. Public grant and government-funded passthrough activity is a defining feature of how it gives.
