Every day, 1,000 people are served by our region's collaborative, compassionate coalition of homeless service providers.

Over the last ten years, 11,410 people have found stable housing because of our collective work. 

In 2023, we served 9501 people experiencing homelessness through our access, shelter, and housing programs.

In 2023, we received over $10 million in coordinated funding to support our collective work of solving homelessness.

Our region's collaborative network of homeless service providers, The Greater Richmond Continuum of Care (GRCoC) , supports solutions to homelessness that are focused on getting our neighbors off the street and on to pathways to a permanent home. Why is this approach considered a highly effective method for solving homelessness in our region and across the country?

As more and more people in our region face housing instability and are pushed into homelessness, the demand for homeless services is higher than ever before.
