Permanent Supportive Housing

Permanent Supportive Housing serves adults diagnosed with a serious mental illness who are experiencing chronic homelessness.

In order to be referred to Permanent Supportive Housing, please call the Coordinated Entry System at 540-853-1163.

Through the Coordinated Entry System, you will complete a common assessment so we can better understand your situation and level of need. Local service providers will then work together to match you with available housing programs. Because resources are limited, this system helps the process stay clear, fair, and efficient.

Projects for Assistance in Transition From Homelessness (PATH)

PATH connects participants with outreach services, screening and diagnostic treatment, habilitation and rehabilitation, community mental health services, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, primary care referrals, job training, education services, and housing services.

Who Is Eligible?

• Adults with serious mental illness who are experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of becoming homeless (Ex: adults who are sleeping outside, in a community shelter, in a vehicle, or facing eviction)
• PATH is not able to assist minors or adults with dependents in their custody/care.

For eligible clients, PATH may provide one-time financial assistance such as payment of one month’s rent to prevent eviction, assistance with first month’s rent or a security deposit to assist an individual with obtaining housing, or other related expenses.

PATH funding may provide clients with hygiene items, co-payments, outreach supplies, food, and clothing items.
