FACETS

February is Black History Month—a time to reflect on history and a moment to act today.

In Fairfax County, Black residents make up 11% of the population, yet nearly half of those experiencing homelessness. This disparity is not accidental. It reflects long-standing inequities rooted in policies and systems that continue to shape access to housing and stability.

The need is growing, and FACETS is growing to meet it. This year, Fairfax County entrusted FACETS with Bailey’s Shelter and Supportive Housing, expanding our work in shelter, outreach, healthcare, and stabilization services.

With your support, FACETS has:

• Provided 62,000+ nights of shelter
• Prevented nearly 800 evictions
• Helped hundreds move into stable housing
• Kept 500+ people safe each winter

This work saves lives. We choose to see people. We choose to act.

FACETS welcomes supporters and neighbors to an Open House at Bailey’s Shelter and Supportive Housing on Saturday, January 17, 2026.

This Fairfax County facility brings together 52 emergency shelter beds and 18 supportive-housing units, along with outreach, healthcare, and case-management services that help neighbors move from crisis toward stability.

📍 5914 Seminary Rd, Falls Church, VA 22041
🕑 2:00 – 4:00 PM

Your support helped make this work possible. Join us to see this next chapter in action, together keeping more neighbors safe.

Last year, FACETS’ Access to Counsel in Evictions (ACE) Program connected with 503 tenants facing eviction.

But because of limited resources, only 43 received full legal representation.

That gap is where families lose their homes. Your year-end gift helps close it.

A donation of $750 provides legal support for one household, helping them remain safely and stably housed. Every gift strengthens this critical safety net and helps stop eviction before it happens

Together, we can keep more families where they belong: home.

This Christmas week, too many of our Fairfax County neighbors are struggling to survive the cold. Nearly 3,600 people experience homelessness each year—including 1,800 students. These are parents, children, seniors, and veterans in urgent need of support.

At this critical time, FACETS has been entrusted with even greater responsibility. In November, we were awarded the contract by Fairfax County to operate 𝗕𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘆’𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴, along with outreach, healthcare, and housing programs across the county.

Your year-end gift can:
• Give someone the safety of a warm place to sleep
• Fill the gap left by shrinking federal support
• Offer housing, healthcare, and vital resources to those who need it most

This is a moment for empathy—and for action.
