Housing at the Center

We have a men’s dorm and a women and family dorm on-site that houses a total of 50 individuals who are single men, single women and families. We operate as an emergency shelter and provide free food, housing, essential clothing and intensive case management for the 6 months they are here.

We currently have a several month waiting list. People in need of housing can call the main office at 757-491-2846 and get on our list. We supply a wide array of free services to aid in the process of moving our residents from here into independent living situations.

Homelessness is often a result of a series of problems including physical or mental disabilities and/or substance addiction. The Judeo-Christian Outreach Center works closely with rehabilitation services including Virginia Beach Detox Center, Mental Health Services, and The Veterans Administration Medical Center to assure that our clients are properly treated for any disorders that may be an obstacle to their well-being or hinder their progress.
