Charlottesville, VA- IMPACT catalyzed a restructuring of the community’s approach to homelessness at their 2013 Nehemiah Action. Charlottesville city manager and Albemarle County Executives agreed to convene a Roundtable to Reduce Homelessness, which would enable the entire community to better share information and leverage funding so that we might see an actual reduction in the number of homeless individuals and families in our area. In the time since this commitment was made, the roundtable has leveraged an additional $950,000 for service providers that otherwise would have been left on the table. We know of 16 families who have been prevented from becoming homeless as a direct result of the way this roundtable has changed our community.
