The idea for the Get Help-Winchester app emerged in 2016 as agency leaders and homeless advocates strengthened relationships within the Community Housing Resources Committee in Winchester, VA. Agency leaders noticed a need for collaboration and wanted to be more efficient and effective with limited resources.
The Get Help-Winchester app will help to empower everyday community members to help connect residents with the services they need. The hope is, the Get Help app will help people navigate the process and create opportunities for a better life, and hope for a brighter future.
