Good Shepherd Housing and Family Services

Apartments/Budgeting/Counseling (ABC Rental Assistance): rent apartments to low income families refused housing elsewhere. Provide budget counseling and case management to move families to self sufficiency.

Emergency Services: prevent evictions and keep utilities turned on for low-income families in short term crises.

Resident Services: Includes our Resident Relief Fund which covers unplanned expenses for our residents that includes unexpected transportation costs, healthcare bills, childcare and training to keep them on track with their financial goals and in stable housing; our Children's Resources Program which ensures that children in programs do not miss out on educational, social or recreational activities simply because their families are low-income; Career Power which is designed to provide intensive career counseling and case management for 16-24-year-olds living in our housing; our mobile homes program, a time-limited program to support the Alexandria Mobile Homes community with rental, utility and food assistance; and our TANF program which provides intensive case management to qualified extra low income households with children.

Awareness: the GSH Awareness Program is a community outreach effort, utilizing property tours and small events, to create awareness about the issues and needs of affordable housing in our community.
