Like all government building this place is very slow. Case managers once your assigned to VW will help as little as they can. One case manager, ML , will help you at the very minimal. A lot of times you will be questioned on if your telling the truth or not, AND be given attitude when you voice your concerns. Government assistance should really do a better job at being understanding and not judgemental because EVERYONE who comes here is struggling and having people be so rude and judgmental is like a smack in the face to those people who need help. Every single worker in VW has a place to go home to which is the opposite for their clients so having the attitude and disrespect makes a lot of people uncomfortable asking for help or coming in. Do better

Very Bad experience . It’s this one lady (MS Wallace ) I will definitely report her or spread the word . She is very rude and you can tell she does not at about your situation like she needs to definitely work somewhere else I feel bad for some families who run across this lady… Beware her attitude shows she does not want to help as long as they pay her she will always be disrespectful she lucky I don’t pull up with cameras because I’ll have your job on how she spoke to me and no I was so calm as a matter fact I was crying because she was no help but this I regret even going to this program I shows a lot on how those workers treat you

Have all your documents with u and the earlier you go the better but be prepared to be there for some hours....by documents I mean birth certificates social security cards for you and your children,proof of residency so you want to bring your utility bill or your students enrollment forms for school, your ID..most importantly though no matter how much you need help if you're not a DC resident they cannot help you so make sure you have a form of DC residencyalso if you are homeless you need at least two letters from somebody stating that you are homeless so you want to give a letter written saying that you and your children are homeless and you're staying from pillar-to-post whoever house you're staying at you want to write a letter with saying that you are staying there but you can't stay there long you only have a week or whatever to stay there

I went to Virginia Williams 2 months ago and got turned away because of my benefits still being in md I’m aware I have to get everything switched over first. With that how long does the process usually take ? Also I heard they close for the summer ?

La'Keia Little | Sep 16, 2019

They consider anything over 30 days is stable housing...you will need to be about to be kicked out with 30days to move(if you have child(ren) they will move "a little" faster. If you stay with someone have them write a letter saying that you(your full name) have 30 daughters to vacate my house(if toy have child(ren) have them in that letter as well

First you have to be homeless, they're gonna place you in a shelter, hotel, or transitional home till they help you get a voucher. This process takes awhile sometimes. Hopefully this will help you.

If I am evicted in md can I still come here for help since pg county is no help ? Also I’m pregnant and my child’s father is with us but he not on the lease due to felony we have 2 other children together

Tearia Branch | Sep 16, 2019
La'Keia Little | Sep 16, 2019

I agree...if he did his time they will help him get training/ job while you're pregnant and you to can get training they will probably give your case to Power it's a program that allows a vendor(someone with money who wants to help you) they will pay for your classes. They are located on Eye St NW..tell them you homeless..(even if you stay within someone you homeless cause its NOT your house. 2 if toy stay with someone they will need to write toy a letter saying (who when where how what....ex..you children(one on the way) if that your are still with) ) where do you stay how long you allowed to stay there anything over 30 days Virginia Williams considered stable housing so if you move in with someone say example an aunt or cousin or cousin needs to write you a letter stating that you your husband and your two kids are staying with you for a certain amount of time and then y'all need to vacate

Alexis Thomas | Sep 16, 2019
Micia Brown | Sep 16, 2019

Virginia Williams will not allow you to move forward without id and birth certificate. As Ms Watkins started, their are agency that will assist you if you have accurate in formation. I would start by going to SSI and obtaining a ssi card. Explain you lost everything and they may assist as long as your data is accurate. It will be a challenge if you have no proof of your identity. You can get certified medical records, ssi card, school id, medical card. Find something to prove who you are otherwise it will be a challenge to obtain assistance.

Robert Downey | Sep 16, 2019
channel stewart | Sep 16, 2019

You would have to go down their with proof of eviction as well as health problems u have to go super early because youll be sitting all day but you should have went as soon as you found out they would be putting her out if she has no other place to go like family then they will assign her a homeless prevention specialist even if they just put her in a temp. Place eventually they will help find her a permanent place

Try doing it through your landlord and inform Virginia Williams of the changes as well.

Verena Mathis | Sep 16, 2019

You'll need documentation of your last address, as well as documentation of the eviction. They make it a way more challenging process than it should be :(

How do I add on my kids father

Zyasia Miles | Sep 16, 2018
Janice H | Sep 16, 2018

Virginia Williams Resource Center will help with rental assistance and if homeless especially single families will give you a case worker that will help you work towards getting a place to live if qualifies I am not sure of your question but it sound like you are asking how to get you childs father on the lease or on the homeless program at Virginia Williams... If so then you may have to let your case worker decide, if you do have a case worker or if you already has a place add him to your lease

Do anybody know a way I can get a family case worker in MD ? I'm looking for housing programs or help for me and my kids.
