Homeward

Homeward is the planning and coordinating organization for homeless services in the Greater Richmond region. The agency’s mission is to prevent, reduce, and end homelessness by facilitating creative solutions through the collaboration, coordination, and cooperation of regional resources and services. Homeward has facilitated the process for the Ten Year Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, which calls for a transformation of the region’s continuum of homeless services to focus on increasing housing stability. Homewards works with regional public and nonprofit service providers to fill gaps in the community’s services for residents with very low incomes, to enhance the housing stability and quality of life for these residents, and to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of programs serving homeless individuals and families.
