One-Year Housing Anniversary for FACETS Clients
 As we concluded our 2010 - 2011 Hypothermia Prevention and Response Program on March 14, we also celebrated a special anniversary. At the end of last year's hypothermia prevention program, 18 guests moved into permanent housing. Today, Robert (pictured to the left) is participating in FACETS' permanent supportive housing program after years of chronic homelessness and is determined never to end up on the streets again. We are excited to report that we at least eight guests from this year's program will be moving into housing of their own. FACETS would like to thank the many faith communities and Fairfax County partners who helped to make these successes a possibility for people like Robert. |
