  • A modern outdoor space features several circular picnic tables surrounded by greenery and a colorful mural on the adjacent wall.
  • A bright, modern classroom features large windows, several tables, and black chairs, overlooking an outdoor view with trees and greenery.

The new Bailey’s Shelter and Supportive Housing is designed to serve our homeless neighbors with dignity by meeting multiple needs at one location. It will provide both emergency shelter for those seeking help during difficult times, as well as permanent housing combined with supportive services for our most vulnerable residents. This is the first of its kind in Fairfax County and we hope it serves as an example of how we can all work together to solve our most pressing challenges and make a real difference in our neighbors’ lives.
