Before moving in to VSH's supportive studio apartments, Ben was homeless for many years due to a disability. He feels that having support services staff right in his building has been a tremendous help. They assisted Ben when he applied for disability income. Now he is able pay his own way.

Understanding the need for quality, affordable permanent housing with support services for families transitioning from homeless shelters and transitional housing programs, Virginia Supportive Housing purchased and renovated apartment buildings in Richmond's Southern Barton Heights, Highland Park and Cary Street neighborhoods. This innovative program provides affordable housing for sixteen families with children. In September of 2000, Virginia Supportive Housing received the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development "2000 Housing Achievement Award" for this program. In addition to the support services offered at all of our properties, there is a strong focus on financial literacy and asset development for the families. All families receive services through Virginia Supportive Housing's Financial Foundations program.
