Homeless & Special Needs Housing — Central Virginia Continuum of Care

Homeless and Special Needs Housing Grant Programs

The mission of the Homeless and Special Needs Housing unit (HSNH) within the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is to ensure homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring. To that end, HSNH administers a continuum of state - and federally - funded homeless service programs to address housing and stabilization services for individuals and families at-risk of or experiencing homelessness in the commonwealth. HSNH works closely with communities and an array of service providers including nonprofits, units of local government, and housing authorities, to ensure comprehensive homeless services are provided effectively and efficiently in accordance with best-practice models to maximize limited resources.
