With significant funding from the Fairfax County Consolidated Community Funding Pool (CCFP), in conjunction with other funders, this program provides rental assistance that allows the very poorest elderly in our community to continue to live independently.  In addition to the funding from the Fairfax County CCFP, this program receives funds from the Warman-Naselli Trust, the Max & Victoria Dreyfus Foundation, St. Mary of Sorrows Catholic Church, St. Mark Catholic Church, the Gannett Foundation as well as individual donors.

The participating seniors benefit from the program by having sufficient funds to not only pay their rent, but also, pay for more nutritious meals, medical needs, vision checkups, dental checkups as well as to be more interactive with their families.
