"It's nice to leave work and have a place to go home to."
Jay and Cathy lived and worked at a motel until a change in ownership left them unemployed and homeless. Although they eventually found new jobs, they were unable to afford shelter. VSH's Housing Resource Center assisted them in renting their first apartment in many years.

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.
