Established in 1980, HomeAgain provides emergency shelter and transitional housing for Richmond’s men, women, children and veterans who have no place to live. HomeAgain also connects clients to community resources and assists them in developing the skills necessary to obtain and maintain permanent housing.

HomeAgain operates two emergency programs, both located in downtown Richmond. The Espigh Family Shelter, home to 30 women and children, and the Men’s Emergency Shelter, home to 20 men, are 90 day programs that focus on basic need for food and shelter. Residents in both houses perform daily chores and routine house upkeep. Most of the residents of these two programs are referred to HomeAgain from Central Intake, the Department of Social Services, or one of the other shelter programs.

HomeAgain also operates four transitional programs for clients who have demonstrated a greater commitment to living independently. The Veteran’s Transitional program has housing for 20 men in a dormitory environment on the grounds of McGuire Veterans Hospital.
