Homelessness in Fairfax County
Temporary Bailey’s Crossroads Community Shelter
• Shelters are necessary to protect vulnerable people without homes and
connect those people to services.
• Our approach to reducing homelessness is successful. We have had a 42%
reduction since 2008.
• However, until homelessness is ended, community-based shelters remain an
important part of our community’s response.
• Currently Office to Prevent and End Homelessness (OPEH) oversees 6
community-based shelters, located in areas with a wide variety of housing,
child care, and business neighbors.

housing meetings
– Clients leave the shelter by 9:30 am to work on self sufficiency programs and
activities. In response to community input and shelter best practices, our policy will
also now allow clients to remain in the shelter during the day, to engage in activities
that promote self-sufficiency and rehousing
– Curfew: 9:00 pm weekdays, 10:00 pm weekends
• Hypothermia Prevention program operates from December to March
• Daytime drop-in program currently operates three times per week, but we are
exploring modifications based on temporary location

the shelter on finding transitional or permanent housing, physical security,
physical and mental health and good nutrition
