It's hard to move forward in life when one of the most basic needs is not met, a place to live.
Why We Exist
The City of Portsmouth, VA has the highest rate of homelessness and the fewest resources in Hampton Roads. Portsmouth poverty rate in 2017 was 18.5%; 42% were children under the age of 18. Nationally, homelessness amongst women and children has increased. Homeless children are twice as likely to experience hunger, health problems and repeat a grade in school.
Who We Serve
We serve single mothers (18-35), their children, and pregnant women who are experiencing homelessness, poverty or in a crisis situation.
