Supportive Housing for Adults in Hampton Roads
Embrace Home Housing provides supportive housing in Hampton Roads, Virginia, for adults who are unable to qualify for or maintain traditional housing due to credit challenges, income challenges, criminal background, rental history, or other housing barriers.
Embrace's Supportive Housing Program Model
Supportive Housing Testimonial
Listen to a supportive housing participant share the real challenges of navigating complex systems and how Embrace Home Housing makes the process simpler, clearer, and more supportive every step of the way.
These experiences highlight how many vulnerable individuals face significant barriers including limited awareness of available resources, difficulty understanding eligibility requirements, transportation challenges, and gaps in consistent guidance.
Embrace Home Housing helps streamline the process by providing clear direction, hands-on support, and a more accessible pathway to services, making an otherwise overwhelming system easier to navigate with dignity and clarity.
"The process was easy and I love the help..."
-Mr. T, Supportive Housing Program Participant

Who Qualifies?
Embrace Home Housing offers adults a safe, supportive shared living environment for individuals seeking stable transitional or long-term housing without the need for 24-hour medical care or continuous supervision.

Participants should simply be able to cover:
• Housing program costs
• Food and groceries
• Toiletries and personal hygiene items
• Basic personal expenses
Whether income comes from employment, SSI, SSDI, VA benefits, retirement income, or another verifiable source, eligibility is based only on the ability to maintain a safe and sustainable living arrangement.
