"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.
South Richmond
In 1996, Virginia Supportive Housing opened its second supportive residence, formerly a crime ridden motel. South Richmond is home to 39 formerly homeless single adults. Like New Clay House, tenants pay 30% of their income as rent, with a minimum rent payment of $50 per month. Support services are available to help tenants remaining in permanent housing, increasing their skills and income and achieving greater self determination.
