"Having a place to live... ...helps my fears and gives me hope."
For twenty years, Anne was unable to obtain permanent housing due to mental illness, substance
abuse and limited income. She began receiving daily services from A Place to Start (APTS), VSH's new
"housing first" program. She now maintains an apartment and is continuing her journey of recovery.
Programs
Virginia Supportive Housing (VSH) cannot end homelessness by only providing housing. While the programs and services that VSH offers are varied, the goals are the same; improving people's economic self-sufficiency and housing stability and promoting mental health and substance abuse recovery. By offering both services and housing, VSH provides a proven permanent solution to homelessness.
