Virginia Williams Family Resource Center (VWFRC)
The Virginia Williams Family Resource Center (VWFRC) is the central intake office for families requesting emergency housing and assistance in DC. Families in need complete a needs assessment with a VWFRC Intake Specialist and if deemed homeless are referred to available shelter locations or alternative shelter placements when available. Families are also assisted with other services including employment services and job training, substance abuse and mental health referrals, and legal support services. Wait times at the Center can sometimes be long, and the intake process is expected to take at least 2 hours, so families are encouraged to come when they can dedicate a full day to this process.
