INMED’s Family Homelessness Interventionprogram is focused on families (with at least one child under age 18) at risk of homelessness in Loudoun County. The goal of the program is to prevent homelessness among low-income families at risk by connecting them to supportive services that lift them out of crisis and strengthen their capacity to sustain long-term housing stability. Toward that end, the program model comprises several core elements:
1. Referral and assessment to identify critical risks and needs and link vulnerable families with appropriate resources
2. Case management to help families on the edge gain stability and build personal and financial assets to prevent homelessness and secure long-term self-sufficiency
3. Links to homelessness prevention resources (financial, housing and legal assistance) and other relevant services
4. Links to employment resources, job training and self-sufficiency planning to help families strengthen their economic prospects
5. Community-based education and capacity building in financial literacy
6. Financial assistance to pay rent or other urgent expenses that threaten housing stability, such as utility bills for families who face imminent homelessness
7. Transportation for families to apply for jobs, meet with DFS caseworkers, attend medical appointments, attend school meetings, etc.

Grant: $18,000
The LAWS Shelter is a 12-bed facility in Loudoun County. The Shelter Transformation project will provide the funds to purchase specialized furniture, including new beds and mattresses, that are made specifically for shelters from a reputable manufacturer of furniture for shelters, dormitories, and residential facilities. Not only will the furniture prevent bed bug outbreaks, but it is also made to withstand a high volume of use and will be durable enough to stand up to the wear and tear of 70 people using the furniture per year. This transformation will also include an interior “makeover” to transform the shelter into a not only safe, but also comfortable and peaceful haven for victims recovering from trauma.
