Homeless Navigation Center - East

Project Description
The Homeless Navigation Center (HNC) will be an approximately 30,000-square-foot facility located in the eastern portion of the County. The HNC will provide overnight, temporary, emergency sheltering and wrap-around services for up to 50 adults experiencing homelessness, while also providing a safe environment following Center for Disease Control guidance for social distancing. A Drop-In Center program will also be part of the programming. The new facility will provide for increased cooperation and coordination between community partners to address individuals’ needs, thereby decreasing the number of people experiencing homelessness.

Service Impact

  • Housing location services – Constructing a new facility will decrease the number of people experiencing homelessness in the County by providing comprehensive services to assist shelter and Drop-In Center participants navigate the service system leading to permanent housing.
  • Comprehensive case management will be offered, which provides information and access to employment (resume writing, job training, etc.), improved nutrition and physical health (such as food preparation instruction and health screenings), behavioral health treatment (such as substance misuse and/or mental health diagnoses), recreational and voluntary spiritual programming.

Prince William County issued a Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds (NOI/RROF) for the Homeless Navigation Center East (HNCE) project. This combined notice affirms that the proposed project will not have a significant environmental impact and outlines the County's intention to request federal funding for the project. Comments will be accepted from Nov. 12, 2024, through Nov 26, 2024, with a submission deadline of 5:00 p.m. on Nov. 26.
