Program Begins Nov. 22 to Provide Overnight Shelter for Homeless Adults during the Winter
The Winter Shelter program provides unsheltered individuals in Virginia Beach with a warm place to sleep each night at various faith organizations throughout the city. Pre-screening is now open to help determine how many people will need Winter Shelter and identify the most vulnerable adults experiencing homelessness. It does not guarantee placement in the Winter Shelter program.
