Virginia Homeless Solutions Program

The Virginia Homeless Solutions Program (VHSP) is a state- and federally funded program to support Continuum of Care (CoC) strategies and homeless service and prevention programs that align with the following goals:

  • To reduce the number of individuals/households who become homeless,
  • To shorten the length of time an individual or household is homeless, and
  • To reduce the number of individuals/households that return to homelessness.

The goal of the HTF-HRG program is to reduce homelessness in the Commonwealth of Virginia. DHCD will support CoC/LPG strategies and homeless service projects that are or will be a part of an effective emergency crisis response system to ensure that homelessness is rare, brief, and one time.

 

All applicants were required to submit their project applications through CAMS to be considered for the 2026 HTF-HRG program.

 

The 2026 HTF-HRG program supports three project types:

- Rapid Re-housing

- Underserved Populations Innovation Project

- Permanent Supportive Housing (housing stabilization services and rental assistance for chronically homeless)
