The organization provided funds to the Housing Resource Center ("HRC") and the Virginia Beach Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation to provide rental and utility deposits for homeless persons to obtain housing, pay rent for needy persons to prevent them from being evicted from their homes and becoming homeless, upgrades to the family shelter at HRC, and for various supplies utilized by residents at HRC. Specifically, during 2025, $87,200 was used to pay apartment complexes and property owners to prevent needy persons from being evicted from their homes and provide security deposits and rent to obtain housing for persons that were homeless; $13,000 was spent to upgrade the family shelter facilities and security cameras at HRC: and $6,994 for transportation of residents to and from HRC. The HRC is a one-stop facility designed to meet the full range of needs for individuals and families facing housing instability. Services provided by HRC include shelter, primary health care, case management, eviction assistance, day services and more.
