Richmond's bridge housing and emergency shelter system operates under the Greater Richmond Continuum of Care led by Homeward, providing coordinated entry, shelter beds, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing for households experiencing homelessness.
Homeward serves as the lead agency for the Greater Richmond Continuum of Care, coordinating entry assessments and channeling unhoused residents to appropriate housing interventions: emergency shelter, transitional and bridge housing, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing. CoC funding flows through HUD's annual Continuum of Care competition, supplemented by City of Richmond general funds, RRHA voucher set-asides, and state Housing Trust Fund resources. Bridge housing programs serve as time-limited stays while permanent housing is identified, particularly for people exiting hospitals, jails, or chronic street homelessness.
Bridge housing program participants may face exit for serious rule violations, but operators must follow termination procedures and connect exiting residents to alternative housing options.
