This winter, Fairfax County saw 35 days at or below freezing. On those nights, our neighbors experiencing homelessness needed somewhere safe to go.

Because of you, they had one.

From Thanksgiving weekend through April 1, 42 faith congregations opened their doors every single night and welcomed neighbors ages 20 to 82 in from the cold. This season, FACETS also expanded into the Bailey’s Crossroads region, growing our incredible network of partners.

Since 2004, this program has helped prevent deaths and serious injuries among our most vulnerable neighbors. Behind every congregation is something even more powerful. Volunteers who show up year after year, offering warmth, care, and dignity when it matters most.

To every congregation, volunteer, and donor, you are the reason this works. Thank you.

April 30 is just four weeks away and seats are filling quickly for FACETS by the River.

This evening is about coming together as a community to better understand what it takes to address poverty and homelessness right here in Fairfax County.

You’ll hear directly from the people behind the work—local leaders, faith partners, donors, clients, and frontline caseworkers—all sharing how collaboration is creating real, lasting impact.

Because the reality is:
• More than 60,000 of our neighbors are living in poverty
• Over 1,300 are experiencing homelessness
• 1 in 3 working families are one unexpected expense away from crisis

In a place with so much, these challenges can feel surprising—but they’re also solvable.

FACETS is proud to be part of the partnerships making that possible every day.

We hope you’ll join us for an evening that truly matters.

Love isn’t just a feeling. It’s action.

This Valentine’s Day, 7 neighbors in our Permanent Supportive Housing program are preparing for life-changing moves — into safer homes, greater stability, and increased independence.

These transitions must be completed by March 5, and they come with real costs our clients can’t cover alone.

From move-out prep to full housing transitions, every gift helps turn progress into stability.

February is Black History Month—a time to reflect on history and a moment to act today.

In Fairfax County, Black residents make up 11% of the population, yet nearly half of those experiencing homelessness. This disparity is not accidental. It reflects long-standing inequities rooted in policies and systems that continue to shape access to housing and stability.

The need is growing, and FACETS is growing to meet it. This year, Fairfax County entrusted FACETS with Bailey’s Shelter and Supportive Housing, expanding our work in shelter, outreach, healthcare, and stabilization services.

With your support, FACETS has:

• Provided 62,000+ nights of shelter
• Prevented nearly 800 evictions
• Helped hundreds move into stable housing
• Kept 500+ people safe each winter

This work saves lives. We choose to see people. We choose to act.

This weekend’s snow and freezing temperatures brought a sharp surge of neighbors to Bailey’s Shelter looking for warmth and safety. Right when it mattered most, World Central Kitchen stepped in at a critical moment with 200 hot meals prepared by local restaurant Peruvian Brothers—support that could not have come at a better time.

With Bailey’s operating beyond normal capacity, FACETS staff are working around the clock to ensure everyone receives food, warmth, and dignified care. Our hypothermia host churches are also under strain as shelter demand continues to rise across the region.

We are deeply grateful for the community’s support—yet this moment requires more.

You can help today:

• Bring food donations to Bailey’s Shelter (5914 Seminary Rd, Falls Church, VA)

• Give financially to support meals, staffing, and supplies: tinyurl.com/GiveFACETS

Last year, FACETS’ Access to Counsel in Evictions (ACE) Program connected with 503 tenants facing eviction.

But because of limited resources, only 43 received full legal representation.

That gap is where families lose their homes. Your year-end gift helps close it.

A donation of $750 provides legal support for one household, helping them remain safely and stably housed. Every gift strengthens this critical safety net and helps stop eviction before it happens

Together, we can keep more families where they belong: home.

This Christmas week, too many of our Fairfax County neighbors are struggling to survive the cold. Nearly 3,600 people experience homelessness each year—including 1,800 students. These are parents, children, seniors, and veterans in urgent need of support.

At this critical time, FACETS has been entrusted with even greater responsibility. In November, we were awarded the contract by Fairfax County to operate 𝗕𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘆’𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴, along with outreach, healthcare, and housing programs across the county.

Your year-end gift can:
• Give someone the safety of a warm place to sleep
• Fill the gap left by shrinking federal support
• Offer housing, healthcare, and vital resources to those who need it most

This is a moment for empathy—and for action.
