Case Management for Homeless Families (Opening Doors)

In June 2008, INMED was awarded a grant from the Freddie Mac Foundation, one of INMED’s long-term partners in improving the health, lives and opportunities of Loudoun County, Virginia families, to launch the new Opening Doors project for homeless families. The Loudoun County Department of Family Services, which administers the county’s housing programs, is an integral partner in this new initiative.

The Opening Doors project will deliver intensive case management services to pregnant women and families with young children in Loudoun County’s emergency homeless shelter and transitional housing programs, with the ultimate goal of helping these families gain stability; strengthen their personal, financial and vocational capacity; and achieve the self-sufficiency that will allow them to maintain permanent housing.
