Exploring this area CoC VA-500

Richmond, Virginia is one of the Virginia markets Mai Heaven is researching. We hold no licence and have no home open here yet — this page is so a case manager, discharge planner, or family can see how placement works locally and refer someone, or join the waiting list for the day we open. Richmond's major hospital systems are VCU Health and Bon Secours; it is served by the Greater Richmond Continuum of Care (Homeward is the lead agency).

No home is open in Richmond yet. We are still bringing homes online here. If you need help right now, these are the numbers to call today — and you can put a name on the waiting list below so we reach out the moment a place opens.
