The regional cooperation between the cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk and Portsmouth to reduce homelessness in South Hampton Roads was featured as the cover article in the Mar09 issue of Research Works, HUD's Office of Policy, Development and Research newsletter.

The article highlighted the cities' partnership with Virginia Supportive Housing to develop Gosnold Apartments in Norfolk and Cloverleaf Apartments in Virginia Beach, the nation's first two regional housing facilities for homeless single adults.

Gosnold and Cloverleaf each houses 60 formerly homeless single adults and provides residents with supportive services -- health, education, job training and placement.

Research Works is a national publication that links housing research and practice. The complete Mar09 issue of the newsletter may be viewed online at http://www.huduser.org/periodicals/Researchworks.html
