PATH provides access to a small emergency shelter program for homeless individuals
with behavioral health conditions and operates permanent supportive housing, using a
housing-first, low-barrier model. The Safe Harbors Project provides permanent
supportive housing project. This program consists of 40 beds located in scattered site
apartments throughout the cities of Hampton and Newport News. The purpose of the
project is to provide permanent supportive housing for disabled chronically homeless
individuals.
Through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals (CABHI) grant, the H-NN
Community Services Board developed the Road2Home Permanent Supportive Housing
Program. Chronically homeless individuals are assisted with rental subsidies, security
deposits, and elimination of housing barriers.
The city also maintains strong partnerships with faith-based and nonprofit organizations
that provide emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and
additional supportive services across the region. These collaborations strengthen the
community’s overall response to homelessness and ensure continuity of care for residents
seeking stability. Examples of these coordinated efforts include transportation assistance to
seasonal shelters, meal provision through partner agencies, and ongoing supportive services
designed to help individuals and families remain safe while working toward permanent
housing and stabilization. Programs and housing for target populations such as those
chronically homeless, veterans, youth and families are in place and work within the CoC to
obtain funding to maintain and expand these programs as needed. The Veterans Affairs
located in the neighboring City of Hampton hosts VASH housing vouchers and outreach
services utilized by Newport News residents.
