Micah Ecumenical Ministries

Housing and shelter program-micah's housing and shelter program strives to meet the immediate and long-term shelter needs of people experiencing homelessness. This department offers a 37-bed winter shelter and 8-bed post-hospital respite shelter, in addition to coordinating efforts to move the chronic homeless off the street. Program goals include shortening the length of shelter stays, decreasing the number of people who are chronically homeless and reducing returns to homelessness.

Supportive services program - Micah's supportive services department includes a number of key community partnerships that help its clients succeed in their pursuit of stable housing. An outreach worker through the rappahannock area community services board connects individuals to mental health services. A full service income assistance program provided in partnership with rappahannock goodwill helps people with employment needs and public benefits, as appropriate. Through this department our clients also experience direct access to a social services eligibility worker, hiv/aids testing, the veteran's administration and dmv.

Hospitality program - the hospitality center offers direct assistance to people who are living on the streets in planning district 16. Services include food, showers, clothing, financial assistance and other basic needs.
