Personal Testimonies “I appreciate the fact that no matter how difficult things seem, the agency is still willing to help participants become better people.” “The accessibility of the case worker, the resources I was pointed to and without transportation having someone to drive me around to get childcare and other things like Social Services was an amazing help.” |
Our Challenge The City of Portsmouth, Virginia has the highest # of homeless families in Hampton Roads. Almost half of them are headed by single mothers with children. Our Goal To reduce the number of homeless families in the City of Portsmouth, VA by providing transitional housing and support services to decrease homelessness in the City of Portsmouth To purchase a building that will provide transitional housing for five families and two unwed pregnant women who are experiencing homelessness, poverty and crisis.
