Homelessness is an urgent problem in the Fairfax-Falls Church community. While we have generated some exciting results by rapidly moving families and individuals into housing with services, those experiencing chronic homelessness have been harder to help. The 100,000 Homes movement is designed specifically to help identify and address the needs of those who continuously struggle with finding a safe and consistent place to call home. The campaign provides concrete, innovative tools and infrastructure that will help us end homelessness in our community.

While many may think that the chronically homeless don’t want to leave the streets, the reality is that the majority of chronically homeless individuals endure serious illness, and physical and mental disability on a daily basis. Outreach to this community has shown that many would like to have a home, if all they needed to do was pay rent and be a good tenant. The 100,000 Homes model provides homeless individuals with caring, individually tailored support services at each stage of their journey from homelessness to housed. As of Dec. 10, 2012, the national campaign has already housed 31,226 people, with more than 90 percent of those helped remaining stably housed.

Fairfax County’s Registry Week took place from Saturday, February 23^rd – Friday, March 1^st, 2013. Registry Week is when communities come together to administer the VIs to as many of our homeless neighbors as we can find. Using the data collected during Registry Week, the various 100K Homes Committees will then work on housing and supportive services that are specifically geared towards permanently ending each individual’s homelessness.

Registry Week was a HUGE task and thanks to the overwhelming response in community support a HUGE success. Click any of the links below to read about Fairfax County’s Registry Week.
