In 2008, as many as 43,050 individuals in Virginia experienced homelessness. Source

20% of households experiencing homelessness during this time included households with dependent children. Source

From 2005 to 2006, there were more than 18,000 homeless children in Virginia. Of this total, 8,600 children were in grades K-8, 7,600 of them under age 6, and nearly 2,000 were high school students. Source

In Virginia, the number of foreclosures more than doubled during the first 11 months of 2008, compared with all of 2007. Source

Trish will be at the Caritas Shelter in Glen Allen, VA tonight.

Where will you be?

Get involved.

Comments To By The Numbers: Homelessness in Virginia

Trish,

I am praying for you and the team today.  I pray that God will knock down the walls you hit as you ride.  Oh to hear you sing Amazing Grace!  Just think, people who read entries in this website will no longer be blind to the plight of the homeless. 
Monday, we added you to our Men’s Ministry prayer list and everyone got to hear about your work.  They saw the picture of the Fiat and the Mac.  God Speed Trish!
