St. Joseph’s Villa
The Villa’s mission is to provide children with special needs and their families the opportunity to succeed through effective and innovative programs.
Flagler Rapid Re-Housing Services
Flagler Housing and Homeless Services provides community-based rapid re-housing assistance throughout the Greater Richmond and Tri-Cities regions. Rapid re-housing helps households secure safe and affordable rental housing while presenting resources to maintain long-term housing stability. We focus on solving the most urgent and basic need of housing first. Once housing is obtained, case managers can more effectively address other challenges.
