The mission is to mobilize the community to help the neediest among them.For over thirty years, the Virginia Beach community has been committed to making homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring through the collaboration of nonprofit, faith-based and city organizations. VB Home Now supports causes that will have the greatest impact on those persons in community experiencing a housing crisis. VB Home Now is leading the fundraising campaign to support the work at the Housing Resource Center and impact the lives of the people who will be assisted there. They strongly believe in the BEACH Community Partnership vision: The city, homeless, and shared responsibility.
Specifically, the foundation is seeking innovative projects that contribute to the Virginia Beach homeless service system and will prioritize funding requests that provide resources, create partnerships, and address gaps within the community that directly impact the homeless and at-risk populations. The mission is to mobilize the community to help the neediest among us.
Funding Priorities
VB Home Now prioritizes requests for funding that addresses gaps within the community directly impacting those individuals experiencing a housing crisis through the provision of resources and strategic partnerships. Specifically, they are looking for innovative projects to advance the work of the Virginia Beach homeless services system in making homelessness rare, brief and nonrecurring:
- To make homelessness rare they will need to strengthen the homeless response system’s capacity to prevent as many households as possible from experiencing homelessness by investing in programs that provide prevention services. Prevention services include the provision of financial assistance, rental subsidy and case management services to households who are experiencing a financial crisis and are most vulnerable to experiencing homelessness.
- Reduce the length of time households experience homelessness will advance the goal of making homelessness brief. Currently, the average length of time households experience homelessness after connecting with the system is 160 days. The goal is to reduce the time to 90 days. Additional investments in long and short-term housing subsidy programs are critical to increasing the system’s capacity to end a household’s episode of homelessness in the quickest amount of time.
Principles
They are looking for opportunities based on the principles of:
- Housing First
- Equity and Inclusivity
- Innovation
- Strategic collaboration
