vocational support services to public housing residents. The facility includes a modern
computer training lab designed to build workforce skills and improve employability. In addition,
the Authority’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program continues to promote economic
independence among Housing Choice Voucher participants by enabling participants to accrue
escrow savings that can be used for homeownership, education, or other long-term financial
goals.
Additionally, the Hampton Roads Community Action Program, Inc. continues to provide
employment assistance and related supportive services, alongside other nonprofit partners
operating within predominantly low-income areas of the City.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
To advance the goals outlined in the 5-Year Consolidated Plan, the City continues to prioritize
inclusive engagement and collaboration across the broader community. Regional efforts led
through the Mayors and Chairs Commission have strengthened coordination among multiple
localities, nonprofit organizations, and private-sector partners to address homelessness at a
systems level. This regional approach has helped align resources and funding streams across
jurisdictions, improving the ability to respond collectively to housing instability and
homelessness.
At the local level, the City and NNRHA are committed to further enhancing internal operations
and strengthening coordination across partner agencies to improve the overall delivery of
housing and community development services. Key priorities include improving data sharing
systems, refining program monitoring and oversight, and streamlining administrative workflows
to increase efficiency and responsiveness. Continued investment in staff training and
professional development will also support stronger compliance with federal requirements and
promote the use of best practices in program management and service delivery.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
To strengthen coordination between public, private, housing, and social service providers, the
City partners with approximately 10 sub-recipient agencies, including those identified in the
proposed projects summary, as well as organizations supported through the City’s Community
Support Agency Grant Program. These grant funds are designed to encourage the development
of new services and the expansion of existing programs that address community needs.
A key objective of this funding approach is to build and sustain broad-based community and
partner support for services, enabling programs to leverage non-City resources over time. As
alternative funding sources are secured, City funds can be gradually reallocated to support
emerging priorities and the development of new initiatives that further strengthen the local
service delivery system.
