How We Do It
At FACETS, we help individuals across the entire spectrum of need in Fairfax County. We meet our neighbors right where they are, whether they have a history struggling to maintain housing, or are facing the reality of becoming homeless for the first time.
The majority of our clients are employed, but due to the high cost of living in Fairfax, they are considered underemployed as their income is not sufficient to sustain themselves and their families. We help them navigate the appropriate services, create financial goals, and acquire more sustainable employment. Many of our clients have complex medical needs and require more intensive, prolonged support, for which our Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) team is here to help. We are seeing even more clients who are showing up to eviction court for the first time, unaware of their rights and afraid of losing their homes. Our Eviction Prevention team is at the courthouse every single week to connect tenants with other resources and let them know their rights.
Whatever their unique circumstances may be, we work with clients one on one to develop and implement a plan to restore a sense of security and balance in their lives, and equip them with the tools so they may begin to transform their own lives.
