WHY HOUSING?

Stable housing changes everything.

HOUSING

At the Virginia Women and Family Support Center, long-term, stable housing is central to our mission. Safe, reliable housing breaks the cycle of homelessness, reduces poverty and hospital visits, and supports children’s educational success. By providing a secure place to call home, we create a strong foundation for lasting positive change for the mothers and families we serve.

FUND HOUSING

MATERNAL HEALTH

The health and wellbeing of mothers and children are top priorities at the Virginia Women and Family Support Center. We ensure mothers receive comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care, along with nutritional, specialty, and mental health support. Children in our program access high-quality pediatric care and enrichment activities tailored to their development. By meeting each family member’s unique health needs, we help children grow strong, happy, and ready to reach their full potential.

FUND MATERNAL HEALTH

HOMELESSNESS

Homelessness in the U.S. rose to a record 653,104 people in 2023, including 111,620 children. Women and families face added challenges—from increased risk of violence to disrupted schooling and limited access to healthcare and work. We’re committed to breaking this cycle by offering comprehensive support, from case management and childcare assistance to job training, mental health services, and pathways to permanent housing. Through a holistic approach, we help women and children build stable, independent futures—because every family deserves a safe place to call home.

FUND HOUSING

CHILD DEVELOPMENT

Homelessness affects about 2.5 million U.S. children each year—one in 30—disrupting healthy development and leading to higher rates of illness, chronic stress, and long-term mental health challenges. At the Virginia Women and Family Support Center, we address these impacts through stable housing, healthcare access, mental health support, and early developmental services to help children overcome these challenges and reach their full potential.

FUND CHILD DEVELOPMENT

Every night, more than 171,500 families in America have no place to call home.

Help end homelessness. Your support provides critical resources—from education to healthcare—that help women and children regain stability and dignity. Join us in creating lasting change.

Our Unique, Housing-First Approach

At the Virginia Women and Family Support Center, we believe in the transformational power that comes with stable housing. Secure housing forms the foundation upon which all other aspects of stability and personal growth are built. For the mothers we serve, safe and stable housing is crucial. It provides a secure environment for both mother and child, creates a stable setting for prenatal care and child development, and establishes a fixed address necessary for accessing services, employment, and education. Our long-term housing program improves maternal and health outcomes for women and their children.

"When I found out I was pregnant and homeless, I didn't know where to turn. But the VAWFSC team welcomed me with open arms and made me feel valued and cared for. The housing, life skills classes, and one-on-one case management were life-changing. I'm now employed, financially stable, and excited to be moving into my own apartment with my baby. This program truly saved my family."
