The Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness (VCEH), state and national partners, and our service provider partners across Virginia are working to reduce and end homelessness through transitioning to proven solutions and evidence based best practices and enhancing the homelessness response system to meet the needs of Virginia residents. This VISTA project will provide the human capital necessary to support this transition to a sustainable and more effective system, while engaging VISTA members in the causes of and solutions to homelessness.
