Today, Homeward hosted our 12th annual Best Practices to Prevent and End Homelessness conference at the Capital One-West Creek Town Center. Each year at the conference Homeward brings together over 200 public and private stakeholders working in the Richmond region to learn how to continue to reduce homelessness and increase housing stability for our neighbors with very low incomes. Homeward invites speakers from across the state and from other communities to provide resources and examples of ways to address specific issues identified during the GRCoC's year-round collective impact efforts.
At the conference, Homeward recognized members of the homeless service community for their outstanding achievements. Awards were given to organizations and individuals who have gone above and beyond to further the community’s goals articulated in The Road Home: Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness and Promote Housing Stability. Awards were presented at the Community Awards Lunch Reception.
