Mary is a mother of 2 and grandmother of 4 who lives on disability income. When one of her daughters lost custody of her children due to negligence, Mary accepted full custody and took them into her home. Raising two small children comes with a lot of expenses! The CAPS staff met with Mary, listened to her story, prayed with her, and provided some solutions. CAPS was able to assist Mary with some of the initial expenses while she sought long-term solutions to her new situation. CAPS also connected Mary to a local work program that hired her.

Rashad is homeless and has been staying with various friends and relatives or in motels for months. During his meeting with CAPS, he learned of over 20 food pantries and free meals in Suffolk. He also learned of an opportunity to earn income through a local church’s community garden. By reducing the cost of food and increasing his income slightly, he has new strategies for reaching a stable housing situation.
George had admittedly burned some bridges in his life but was trying to get back on his feet. He had a job but he couldn’t pay for a motel and save for a security deposit on a permanent apartment. The Night Stay Program enabled him to stay somewhere for free and save on food so he could put enough money aside to move into an apartment.
Night Stay Program
The Night Stay Program is a rotating night shelter for people experiencing homelessness in the winter months. Churches take turns hosting the program for a week at a time, opening their doors to provide shelter, food, safety and a listening ear to our neighbors.Request Shelter
If you are experiencing homelessness and need shelter call the Housing Crisis Hotline at 757-587-4202 and go through the intake process.Furniture Assistance
CAPS partners with local churches and the community at large to provide furniture and kitchen appliances to clients who need help procuring household essentials when moving into permanent housing. Many of these clients include victims of domestic violence and formerly homeless individuals and families. Furniture and household essentials are provided based on need and availability and cannot be guaranteed. Due to storage limitations, CAPS can only accept donated items on a case by case basis.Request Assistance
