Loudoun County Reopens Homeless Services Center

LEESBURG, VA — Loudoun County officials announced Wednesday that the county's Homeless Services Center has reopened after an extensive renovation, which prompted a temporary relocation. The facility has resumed providing services at 19520 Meadowview Court in Leesburg.

The $1.3 million renovation included replacement of the building's plumbing, heating, ventilation and cooling equipment, the county said in a statement. It also included replacing the system that controls and monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment, the replacement of drywall and flooring, and an upgrade of the fire and safety systems.

“I am proud of the way our community came together to help us provide services to those in need during the winter while the renovations were underway, including businesses, faith-based organizations and many other volunteers,” said Glenda Blake, director of the Loudoun County Department of Family Services, in the statement.

The Loudoun Homeless Services Center provides:

• Emergency shelter services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
• Supportive housing to adults in need.
• Drop-in services for adults experiencing homelessness to take care of their basic daily needs, including meals, access to shower and laundry facilities, and other resources.

The Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas operates the center under contract with the county, providing programs that prevent, support and help end homelessness within Loudoun and surrounding counties.

The center’s services were temporarily relocated to other facilities during the nine-month renovation project, the county said.

The Department of Family Services oversees the center in partnership with the Loudoun County Continuum of Care, a coalition of public, nonprofit and faith-based organizations that provide shelter and support services to persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
