It is #Feelgoodfriday! We want to thank our good friends at RVA Legends and @BrennerRVA for providing food for our Espigh Family Shelter residents today! #saveRVARestaurants
This is what gives us hope and keeps us going. We are so proud to have people like this in our community!
Special thanks to @RejuvenateMD and Dr. Lonny Green for their generous support! Dr. Green and his team hosted an awareness/funds drive for HomeAgain. They were able to spread the word about the work being done at the Espigh Family Shelter and raise some much needed funds.
Thank you to @GovernorVA and all of our government partners for supporting policies that will help ensure that fewer Virginians experience a housing crisis in the future. Team work makes the dream work! #FeelGoodFriday
Our good friends at Homeward are out collecting important data on homelessness today. The data gathered through the Point-in-Time count helps us all form a better understanding of homelessness in RVA. Thank you to everyone that is involved with that effort today!
This morning, across the region Homeward is coordinating our community’s 23rd winter Point-in-Time count. In @ChesterfieldVa we are teaming up local law enforcement, county leadership, @RichmondVAMC, @caritas_va to hear from our neighbors in crisis
Did you know that 78% of HomeAgain Richmond's clients exit our shelters to permanent stable housing? Or that last year we were able to help 768 people experiencing a housing crisis? #WednesdayWisdom
Our good friends at Homeward are still looking for volunteers for their Winter Point In Time Count. This is a great way to get involved and help us all learn more about homelessness in our community. #TuesdayThoughts
Every day that someone sleeps outside, in a car, or somewhere temporary is a day that they are experiencing homelessness. We are fighting alongside so many others to end homelessness, and ensure everyone in our community has a safe home.
Today is World Homeless Day
🔽This pair doesn't know it.
But there are a lot of people working so hard to make sure they never face a night on the streets again.

18 years later and we remember the tragedy of 9/11.
We remember and honor all whose lives were impacted by this dreadful day 18 years ago, and the lives that were changed forever. #NeverForget911
Homelessness affects hundreds of our fellow Richmonders. @HomewardVA is working with the city to create a strategic plan to provide stable housing and services.

"Instead of requiring people to stabilize *before* receiving housing, Housing First interventions focus on helping people achieve stability in housing *first.* This is often a critical precursor to other improvements in their lives."

“With nearly one in ten Virginians having worn a uniform, our Commonwealth is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the country, and we owe it to our Virginia veterans to ensure they have a safe place to live." https://t.co/Xzrr6l5qK2
Temperatures are in the high 90's for the next few days. Extend kindness to individuals bearing the heat without a safe shelter. A simple gesture of offering bottled water can greatly reduce the risk of dehydration.
Happy Amazon Prime Day!
