other supportive services are provided by Hampton-Newport News CSB, LINK of Hampton Roads, Menchville
House, and the Four Oaks Day Services shelter (managed by the Department of Human Services).
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-
income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged
from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health
facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and,
receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
GVPHC service providers collaborate with the various institutions to assist those who are discharged into
homelessness with shelter and services whenever possible. Persons exiting jails, prisons and hospitals
are regularly a portion of those experiencing homelessness due to a lack of medical respite and
transitional housing programs. In addition, the region has very little resources to offer disconnected and
homeless youth, who are increasingly identified within the homeless system, and this remains a service
gap across the region. Although the CoC closely monitors trends and works to prioritize diversion and
the utilization of prevention funds to address gaps in coverage, the CoC’s prevention funds are mostly
limited to households that fall below the 30% Area Median Income. However, the addition of the SSVF
program for Veterans can assist households up to 80% AMI.
Helping homeless persons, especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth to make the transition to permanent
housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families
experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable
housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming
homeless again.
Homeless services were accessed by 2,440 unique individuals between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, from
ten programs located in Newport News, which demonstrates a 16% increase from the previous year. These
individuals made up 2,144 households, 94% of whom did not include any children (i.e. Adult Only households).
