Notification of individual or family sleeping outdoors
Are you concerned about someone sleeping outdoors? Outreach and support services are available for people living on the streets and in other public places.
Please help us to assist people who are sleeping in places not meant for human habitation (such as cars, parks, woods, sidewalks, abandoned buildings) by letting us know where they are located. Our region's outreach team will attempt to make contact with the individual or family.
Please note that the outreach team works to build a relationship with individuals who may be uncomfortable seeking services. Making these connections takes time. Other individuals may already have somewhere to stay. Therefore, you may still see the individual or family after completing this form.
Call 911 if a person is currently ill, in danger, or creating a dangerous situation.
The form below can be used to notify outreach of individuals for the following localities: Town of Ashland, Counties of Chesterfield , Charles City, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan, and City of Richmond.
