Mission

PathForward's mission is to foster stability and dignity through transformative services and housing solutions. Our vision is an inclusive and equitable community where all neighbors live stable, secure and independent lives free from the threat of homelessness.

990 for the year ended June 30, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • The Permanent Supporting Housing (PSH) Program - The Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) program provides long-term housing and intensive case management to individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness and live with disabling conditions. PathForward supports approximately 200 scattered-site housing placements across Arlington County through PSH, Rapid Re-Housing, and Transitional Housing programs. Clients receive trauma-informed case management, healthcare coordination, benefits navigation, income support, and assistance with activities of daily living. PathForward maintains housing retention rates of approximately 90% or higher across its permanent supportive housing programs. In FY26, PathForward aims to support at least 138 individuals in moving into permanent housing and to maintain 85% housing stability at 12 months for housed clients. The organization also works to increase income and benefits for at least 30% of participants in housing programs, strengthening long-term stability
    Expenses $2,151,396
  • Homeless Services Center (HSC) - PathForward operates two 24/7 shelter facilities: the Homeless Services Center (HSC) and, beginning in April 2025, the Residential Program Center (RPC). Together, these facilities provide 97 year-round shelter beds and seasonal hypothermia/overflow capacity serving approximately 100 individuals each winter. Across both facilities, PathForward anticipates providing approximately 39,000 shelter bed nights and 54,000 meals annually. Prior to assuming management of the RPC in 2025, PathForward provided 48,000 meals annually to individuals experiencing homelessness. Shelter Services provide safe, low-barrier emergency housing, case management, and housing navigation designed to move individuals toward permanent housing as quickly as possible. Street Outreach, which increased to seven days per week in 2025, engages individuals living unsheltered in encampments, wooded areas, underpasses, and other locations not meant for habitation. Staff distribute essential supplies, including food, water, clothing, blankets, and hygiene items, while building relationships and connecting individuals to shelter, healthcare, and housing services. Day Program services provide low-barrier access to meals, showers, laundry facilities, clothing, case management, and referrals to medical and behavioral health services. The HSC also includes five medical respite beds serving individuals discharged from hospitals who require short-term recovery support. PathForward aims to provide medical respite to at least 12 individuals annually, with 90% linked to safe housing or appropriate care settings at discharge.
    Expenses $2,924,523 · revenue $2,855,196
  • The Continuum of Care Program Supplemental Funding Opportunity to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness (SNOFO) is a targeted initiative administered by HUD that supports community-based strategies such as street outreach, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and coordinated entry improvements, with an emphasis on moving people from unsheltered locations into stable housing as quickly as possible. The opportunity encourages collaboration among local service providers, housing agencies, and nonprofit organizations to create sustainable, data-driven solutions that address the unique challenges of rural homelessness and expand access to housing and supportive services. PathForward received $1.3M award over a period of three years ending in 2026.
    Expenses $492,977
  • Transitional Housing provides up to 24 months of temporary, non-congregate housing for individuals with high service needs, particularly those transitioning from unsheltered homelessness. The program emphasizes low-barrier access, client-driven services, and assertive engagement. Participants receive intensive case management and connections to income supports, healthcare, and community resources. As individuals increase stability and income, rental assistance is gradually stepped down to promote long-term independence and sustainable housing outcomes
    Expenses $274,038 · revenue $107,429
  • PathForward is committed to advancing healthcare equity for adults experiencing homelessness and housing instability. The Mobile Medical Program (MMP) delivers low-barrier, trauma-informed medical and behavioral health care directly to individuals living unsheltered, in emergency shelter, and in Permanent Supportive Housing. The Mobile Medical "Dream Team" model is interdisciplinary and includes a nurse practitioner or registered nurse, a licensed clinical social worker, and a case manager. The team provides wound care, chronic disease monitoring (including blood pressure and glucose checks), medication management and prescription coordination, behavioral health assessment and therapy, crisis intervention, overdose prevention education (including NARCAN administration and training), and field-based clinical interventions. Services are delivered through street outreach, shelter-based clinics, and in-home visits for medically fragile residents. The program prioritizes older adults and individuals with complex medical and behavioral health conditions who are uninsured, underinsured, or unable to access traditional appointment-based healthcare systems. Nearly 40% of shelter residents are age 55 or older, many experiencing accelerated aging due to untreated chronic illness. By integrating healthcare and housing-focused services, the MMP reduces preventable hospitalizations, decreases reliance on emergency services, and strengthens housing retention among medically vulnerable individuals. In FY27, PathForward plans to expand the MMP by adding a second Mobile Medical Dream Team, increasing outreach capacity, shelter-based clinical visits, and in-home follow-up for residents in supportive housing. This expansion will significantly increase annual outreach touchpoints, clinical encounters, and behavioral health services while supporting housing retention rates of 90% or higher among supportive housing participants.
    Expenses $104,275
  • The Homelessness Prevention Program (HPP) and Rapid Re-housing Program (RRH) began in October 2009 through funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. These programs assist individuals and households facing housing instability or experiencing homelessness. The programs provide short-term rental assistance, housing navigation, landlord engagement, and case management to prevent homelessness or rapidly return individuals to stable housing. By limiting the time individuals spend unsheltered or in emergency shelter, these programs reduce exposure to health and safety risks and decrease the likelihood of chronic homelessness.
    Expenses $220,190
