Housing and homeless services:flagler housing & homeless services provides assistance to households experiencing the crisis of homelessness. Services provided include information and referral, housing search, permanent supportive housing, short-term rental assistance (rapid re-housing), case management, and youth specific housing and outreach. During fy 24, the flagler program (comprised of offices in richmond and petersburg) assisted 351 households, comprised of 675 individuals. These numbers represent a small decrease from fy 23. This reduction is due to an increase in the needs of the households that are served. Providers are needing to keep households open to services for a longer period to obtain and maintain housing stability. Because capacity has not increased, the result is a reduction in the number of households the program served. Community based services are provided in two separate geographic regions; the greater richmond continuum of care (hanover, goochland, powhatan, chesterfield, henrico, new kent, charles city, and the city of richmond), and the crater area coalition on homelessness (cach - petersburg) region (prince george, dinwiddie, surry, sussex, emporia, greensville, hopewell, and petersburg).
