"It's great having your own home. It's total freedom."
Due to his paranoia, Jeff was homeless for 4 years. He would stay in a shelter or find a
secluded spot to sleep, preferably a car. During the day Jeff would look for odd jobs to
earn some extra cash. After participating in the A Place To Start (APTS), Jeff is now
housed permanently in his own apartment.

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.
