Every day, Pathway Homes provides secure, stable housing and caring supportive services to more than 450 people coping with and recovering from mental illness in Northern Virginia. Every night, more than 500 others are still waiting for help.

“Homeward Bound” is the theme of the 2015 Help the Homeless Community Walk, hosted by Pathway Homes. Since 1999, Pathway Homes has encouraged people of all ages to come together for one day in the fall, to make a lasting impact in the lives of others. Participating in a walk is a fun and easy way to give back to the community.

Pathways has hosted this fall event for 15 years, raising nearly $400,000 in that time to directly fund the critical housing needs of people with mental illness. Nearly 200 people participated in last year’s walk, raising $20,000 to provide critical funding for housing and supportive services.

In just one morning, participants can make a real impact on the lives of men and women who are homeless in the region. 100% of registration fees and donations in support of our walkers go directly to securing housing and providing supportive services for homeless adults with severe mental illness and co-occurring conditions.

Registration costs $32 per for adults and $20 for youth 17 and under. Registration form and more information are available online at www.pathwayhomes.org/events.

For more than 30 years, Pathway Homes has been a leading provider of housing and support services for adults with mental illness and co-occurring disorders in the Northern Virginia region, embodying the spirit of recovery.
