Fairfax County Uses the City Jobs Program to Enlist Individuals Experiencing Homelessness to Help with Stormwater Cleanup

Fairfax County has launched a new pilot program that will help improve water quality in streams and provide dignity in work to people experiencing homelessness.

Bravely Breaking Free
“Jill” was alienated from her kids, living in the woods with a violent boyfriend and self-medicating with drugs and alcohol when we first met her over a decade ago. She cycled in and out of detox and domestic violence shelters for years, never able to break free.
Kathryn’s Story
“The environment of love, of being able to walk into the Lamb Center and feel that I wasn’t being judged, that I really felt the love of God here,” Kathryn shares, is what made the difference in empowering her to start her journey of hope and transformation.
Prince’s Story
When Prince was released from incarceration, he was instantly homeless. At the Lamb Center, he received food, facemasks, and other assistance. “I know God has a lot of plans for me and I know that the Lamb Center is part of God’s plan in my life,” he said.
Joseph’s Story
“Fighting cancer, being homeless, is extremely hard. And I have no family,” Joseph said. “All I want is a chance to live normally.”
Elizabeth’s Story
“I became homeless through eviction,” Elizabeth shared. She was homeless for two years, but turned to the Lamb Center for assistance. Learn more about how Elizabeth is coping during the pandemic.
