Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness

Richmond has successfully housed 15 of the most vulnerable people identified in the Commonwealth of Virginia! These result have been made possible because of Virginia Supportive Housing's timely efforts to set aside newly developed units for 45 of the most vulnerable individuals identified in Richmond. As a result, Virginia's housing placement is above the national 100,000 Homes housing placement average!

During the week of August 1st, eleven teams made up of more than 100 community partners and volunteers canvassed the streets to compile a detailed registry of Richmond’s homeless.   Specialized teams also targeted Chesterfield and Henrico on July 28, 2011, as part of the region’s Point-in-Time count.

218 homeless individuals were surveyed in the Greater Richmond region with more than half (118 individuals/54.1%) identified as vulnerable and at increased risk of death.

1,000 Homes Arlington has branded their local campaign as 100 Homes Arlington which is being led by Anita Friedman of Arlington County and spearheaded by the Arlington Department of Human Services and A-SPAN.

The Arlington team has finished their registry week! More than 150 community volunteers and Arlington County staff went out into the streets of Arlington to identify and survey the most vulnerable homeless individuals. Click here for the results!
