Our Solutions

Housing Crisis Hotline
As the central point of contact for all persons experiencing a housing crisis, the ForKids Housing Crisis Hotline connects individuals in crisis throughout Southeastern Virginia to our community’s extended network of resources.

Shelter & Outreach
Our state-of-the-art emergency shelter ensures families have a safespace to call their own and the necessary support to assist in finding permanent housing. When shelter is full-to-capacity, our outreach program steps in to help families with food, clothing, and case management.

Education
Custom-built to meet the distinct needs of children who face housing instability, our education programs are among the most critical services ForKids provides.

Housing Stability
We offer a comprehensive approach to families in need of housing or housing assistance designed to promote self-sufficiency and reduce the likelihood of recurrent homelessness.

Economic Mobility
Our financial opportunity programs take a long-term approach toward building families’ income and generational stability.

Research & Advocacy
The Center for Research & Advocacy at ForKids creates data-driven solutions to remove barriers for low-income families and supports leaders with actionable insights to inform policy and legislative decisions.
