Our outreach recipient during January is Homestretch Homestretch Homestretch helps families experiencing homelessness in Virginia become self-sufficient by giving them the skills, knowledge and hope they need to become productive participants in the community. It fist provides temporary housing then works with the family for up to three years, coming up with a plan to combine education/certification with the existing strengths and experience of the parent(s) to end in a career that can make the family self-sufficient. The parent(s) work and contribute to their rent and to their savings and getting out of debt.  Once the education/certification is complete, they help the parent(s) get a job in that career field, then the family moves to permanent housing.
