Homeward’s Annual Regional Conference on Best Practices to Prevent and End Homelessness brings together more than 150 community partners to learn about innovative program models and build bridges between systems of care.

At Homeward, we are proud to be part of a community of practitioners motivated by compassion for those experiencing homelessness. We are dedicated to changing our region’s response to homelessness so that all our neighbors can benefit from the strength and dignity that comes with stable housing.

What are Best Practices for Preventing and Ending Homelessness?


  • Promote dignity and respect
  • Divert from shelters when possible
  • Use data to make decisions
  • Offer low barrier access to services
  • Be trauma informed
  • Serve as a platform to housing access
  • Connect clients to resources
  • Use progressive engagement


The Richmond region has a strong foundation in four areas:


  1. High-quality and compassionate providers
  2. Timely and relevant data that tells our neighbors' stories
  3. Supportive and collaborative funders
  4. Dedicated focus on our mission - preventing and ending homelessness
