Housing Families First


  • About Us

    Housing Families First gives families facing homelessness the opportunity to build a legacy for their families by providing a path to a permanent home. Our vision is a Richmond region where all children and their families have a safe place to call home.

    In order to best carry out this mission, Housing Families First is a member organization of the Greater Richmond Continuum of Care, a coordinated and compassionate network of homeless service providers in our region seeking to prevent, reduce, and end homelessness through effective and coordinated community-wide efforts and services. In 2022, our region’s CoC network of homeless service providers served over 6,800 people and successfully diverted over 3,000 people away from homelessness through our Homeless Connection Line. 

    Housing Families First operates three core programs to assist those in need in our community: Hilliard House Shelter, Building Neighbors Rapid Re-Housing, and Bringing Families Home partnership program with Henrico County, Chesterfield County, and Richmond City Public Schools.
