Working together to solve homelessness in Greater Richmond since 1997.
Last year, Homeless Connection Line staff conducted 24,004 one-on-one phone calls with vulnerable community members experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness.
In FY 2026, the CES team reviewed over 1,500 cases during case conferencing sessions with GRCoC agencies and dozens of community partners.
In FY2026, we served 8,436 people experiencing homelessness through our access, shelter, and housing programs.
Between July 2025 and June 2026, we received over $10 million in coordinated funding to support our collective work of solving homelessness.
About Us

GRCoC coordinates homeless services and homelessness prevention across the City of Richmond, and the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover (including the town of Ashland), Henrico, New Kent, and Powhatan.
New Title
Compassion. Cooperation. Accountability. Collaboration.
As the crisis of homelessness continues to afflict many individuals and families in the Richmond region, we often are asked about how we study the causes of homelessness and how we know what types of programs actually work.
This blog post is the fourth in a five-part series that explores the Greater Richmond Continuum of Care and how our collaborative and compassionate network has a tangible impact on the Richmond region, especially for our most vulnerable neighbors experiencing homelessness. If you’ve not already done so yet, read the first , second , and third posts to catch up with the full series.
