Hampton Roads Community Foundation’s Economic Stability Community Grants help people living with poverty and other barriers become stable and self-sufficient. Part of its Competitive Community Grants program, the funding serves South Hampton Roads, Virginia. It emphasizes housing, sufficient income, financial management skills, and stable employment as foundations for helping individuals and families pursue their goals and reduce economic insecurity.
Supported work includes safe, affordable housing placements with supportive services, eviction and foreclosure prevention, workforce training and certification, financial education, savings programs, and financial case management. Program funding can launch promising services or continue and expand existing programs. Seed funding supports pilots of new or expanded programs at organizations with existing services, rather than start-up organizations.
