Description: Contains statistics and policy suggestions concerning homelessness in the United States, which impacts many people with disabilities. Drawing on data from the National Survey of Homeless Assistance Providers and Clients, this article advocates for ending chronic homelessness by creating 150,000 new units of permanent supportive housing. The need for partnerships and federal funding is stressed, including McKinney/Vento, HOME, Section 8 and 811, and a National Housing Trust Fund. (Author)

Virginia Supportive Housing works with other community development corporations in both the Richmond and South Hampton Roads areas to revitalize abandoned and substandard housing to provide safe affordable housing. Virginia Supportive Housing also works closely with Richmond and South Hampton Roads area homeless shelters and transitional programs.

You mention 'the circle effect', James, and you're right. The circle effect is well illustrated in the book, Homeless Hearts: Life Stories of Women in a Homeless Shelter. Reading those actual life stories helps realize that effect along with possibly creating ideas for intervention.

I believer that there should be other programs in place for homeless people to eliminate the circle effect.
