| Mission Statement | Homeward serves as the regional voice on homelessness and related housing and human services for the Richmond region. As the regional planning and coordinating agency for homeless services, Homeward's mission is to prevent, reduce, and end homelessness by facilitating creative solutions through the collaboration, coordination, and cooperation of regional resources and services. In 2006, Homeward was tasked by the Richmond region to develop a unified vision to prevent and end homelessness in our region and, in this process, to restore hope and dignity to our region’s most vulnerable residents. Through this deliberative planning process with representatives from over 35 non-profit homelessness and housing providers and four local governments, our community launched the Ten Year Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness in the Richmond Region in January 2008. Implementation of the Ten Year Plan is transforming our community’s homeless services system to focus on housing stability for families and individuals experiencing homelessness and other community residents earning between 0 and 30% AMI who are at risk of homelessness. |
