Governor Youngkin has announced $12 million in the Virginia Housing Trust Fund Homeless Reduction Grants for 55 projects across the Commonwealth. The funding will advance targeted efforts to reduce homelessness for more than 2,000 individuals and families.
Congratulations to three Virginia Community Action Agencies who received awards: Causeway (formerly New River Community Action) $132,850, Bay Aging $325,823, and People, Inc. $303,782.
The grants represent 20% of this fiscal year’s fund investment, and the remaining funds support the production of new or rehabilitated housing units through the Affordable and Special Needs Housing Program. The Homeless Reduction Grant program must be coordinated with other community-based activities, and grantees use a local centralized or coordinated assessment/entry system, which is the best practice for a housing-focused approach for helping households experiencing homelessness quickly regain stability in permanent housing.
