​​​​​​​​​​​​​Housing and Neighborhood Preservation is committed to helping the homeless and preventing families and individuals from becoming homeless. The department provides funding to several organizations and has partnered with neighboring cities on regional housing projects for the homeless in Virginia Beach. We also provide staff support to the BEACH (Bringing an End to All City Homelessness) Community Partnership, a collaboration of the faith community, non-profit providers, the business community and local government, whose mission is to end homelessness in the City of Virginia Beach.
