John Williams Home

Philanthropist, DC native, Encircle board member, and donor of the Encircle St. George and Salt Lake City homes Brad Clark said, “I envision a world where LGBTQ+ young people thrive. I believe Encircle’s unique approach and dedication to building homes where no one else will is what will drive its inspiring mission forward. We need Encircle homes everywhere.” With no debt, mortgage, or rent—Brad’s gift guarantees our Encircle homes will serve our communities forever.
