GRCoC Releases FY2025 Annual Report

October 8, 2025

Combining Compassion and Accountability

The Greater Richmond Continuum of Care (GRCoC) published its Fiscal Year 2024-2025 annual report on October 8, 2025 - a summary of the report can be found here.


The GRCoC represents a beacon of compassion, collaboration, and resilience in our region. As this annual report highlights, this collective effort makes a difference in our region. Our network has an outsize impact because we work together and constantly evolve to meet the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness.


Our system's growth is a testament to our constant collaboration, data-informed strategies, and increased investments in proven solutions. Even though our system is helping more people than ever build pathways to a permanent home, we also know that the need is growing. Exponential increases in cost of living and housing coupled with economic stress are leading causes of housing instability. We see more of our neighbors pushed into homelessness because of these factors.


This important work is possible thanks to the commitment of hundreds of front-line homeless services professionals, the agencies that deliver proven solutions to homelessness, caring volunteers, and community partners that invest in this network, including private donors and philanthropic organizations, local governments, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the federal government.


The GRCoC will continue to respond to and serve those experiencing homelessness. With continued community support and additional investments, we can solve homelessness together.

Our region's collaborative network of homeless service providers, The Greater Richmond Continuum of Care (GRCoC) , supports solutions to homelessness that are focused on getting our neighbors off the street and on to pathways to a permanent home. Why is this approach considered a highly effective method for solving homelessness in our region and across the country?

As more and more people in our region face housing instability and are pushed into homelessness, the demand for homeless services is higher than ever before.

In every community, there are moments when resources simply aren't enough to meet the needs of all those who are struggling. This reality can often lead to frustration, especially when we feel powerless in resolving an issue, particularly one as urgent as homelessness. However, it's important to remember that even when we can't solve everything at once, there are always concrete steps we can take to make a real difference.

The federal government, through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides a substantial portion of funding for homeless services in our region. In fact, the vast majority of public dollars used to support our most vulnerable neighbors is allocated through a HUD funding process called the Continuum of Care Program.
