How does HomeAgain Help?

Since 1979, HomeAgain services have expanded to effectively address the needs of individuals, families, seniors and veterans experiencing homelessness throughout the Greater Richmond region. We offer a variety of programs to ensure each family’s unique needs are matched with the best housing solution. These programs include emergency shelters, bridge housing, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing. HomeAgain’s two full-time shelters provide temporary housing and case management to families and individuals in a housing crisis.

HomeAgain services provide more than just a warm bed. Our comprehensive care includes individualized case management services, supplying healthy meals, free on-site laundry facilities, secured entrances, play and learning areas for children, and workforce development resources. Through our holistic approach to homeless services, HomeAgain assists individuals and families successfully rebuild their lives and achieve stable housing.

Community Housing Services

Community Housing Services include two, highly effective financial assistance programs. Our signature program is the Rapid Rehousing Program (RRH) that provides comprehensive case management, housing search assistance and short-term rental assistance with the lease in the clients’ names. The Permanent Supportive Housing Program (PSH) provides long-term housing assistance to families impacted by disabilities in scattered site apartments across the Greater Richmond area. Leases for the program are in HomeAgain’s name and clients are sub-lessors. HomeAgain’s Community Housing programs served 176 individuals in 2022. Programs are operated in accordance with guidelines established by the Greater Richmond Continuum of Care for the homeless.
The Espigh Family Shelter

The Espigh Family Shelter provided crisis housing and services to 239 individuals. This includes 143 adults and 96 children. This program offers emergency shelter to up to 35 people, including single adult women and families with children of any composition. The program helps households avoid street homelessness by providing shelter, case management and other supportive services (including Rapid Rehousing for qualifying families) designed to quickly end homelessness and return families to stable housing. The facility includes a learning center for tutoring and a children’s playroom called “Edward’s Room”. Both spaces house tutoring and enrichment activities and help to lessen the traumatic impact of homelessness for residents of the shelter.
The Men’s/Veterans Shelter

The Men’s/Veterans Shelter houses 20 adult men and has 8 beds dedicated to serving U.S. Military Veterans. In 2022, the Men’s/Veterans Shelter provided crisis housing services to 123 Men and 46 Veterans. Services within the shelter include up to 90 days of crisis housing, case management, housing and job search assistance, workplace development, substance use prevention and mental health support. HomeAgain assists individuals in successfully rebuilding their lives to achieve stable housing.
