Empowering Families to Rebuild Lives
About us
Founded in 1990, Homestretch is a nonprofit organization that serves homeless parents and children in Falls Church and Fairfax County, Virginia. Homestretch empowers homeless parents with children to move from crisis to financial independence and long-term stability. At Homestretch, we make a long-term investment in our clients, through a two-year comprehensive program. We move them into a neighborhood home, and then provide services based on their specific circumstances, needs, and goals. During their time with Homestretch, parents work, pay a percentage of their income for rent, and put money into savings. We help with transportation and child care costs, and educate parents on a wide-variety of life skills. Specialized services for the children include our preschool and our teen after-school program. The majority of our services are housed in one location. The Homestretch program works. Ninety percent of Homestretch clients graduate, with a job, an affordable home, their debts paid off, and savings in the bank. Two years after graduation, 95% of Homestretch clients are still working and living in their own homes.

Our partners at the McLean Hilton helped get an apartment ready for an incoming family. Entering a well-equipped home gives our clients a sense of stability from which to begin their journey towards self-sufficiency. #CommunitySupport #HomestretchVA

This past weekend we held our annual back-to-school picnic. Our families enjoyed a wonderful morning at Scramble, followed by ice cream. Our families also received their children's backpacks and school supplies. #HomestretchVA

Celebrating One Year with Homestretch! 🎉 Today marks one year since I joined Homestretch as Executive Director, and what an incredible journey it has been! Over the past 12 months, I've had the privilege of working alongside an amazing team dedicated to empowering homeless parents and their children. Reflecting on this past year, I'm proud of all that we've accomplished together. Every success story, every family we’ve helped transition to stability, reminds me why our work is so crucial. I’m inspired daily by the resilience and potential of the individuals and families we serve. A heartfelt thank you to our staff, volunteers, partners, and donors who make this all possible. Your unwavering support and dedication fuel our mission and drive us to create lasting change. Here’s to many more years of making a difference, building stronger communities, and ensuring every family has the opportunity to thrive! P.S. - My 1st Day at Work pic, August 1, 2023. I had my ready face on. 😃 #HomestretchVA #CommunityImpact #EndingHomelessness
