Who We Are
New Hope provides hypothermia prevention programs for adults during the winter months in partnership with Fairfax County, faith communities, and many nonprofit partners.
New Hope Housing operates six emergency shelters year round plus an additional 90 beds during winter months. During extreme cold or hot weather, there is a "no turn away" policy for some shelters. A shelter program offers safe, decent and welcoming housing with nutritious meals. The object is to find transitional or permanent housing and provide services to help maintain housing.
