About Us
New River Family Shelter (NRFS) is the only scattered shelter program in the New River Valley that provides safe emergency housing to families and children.
Since 1989, NRFS has provided emergency housing and support to local families who find themselves in a housing crisis. With multiple home sites, we increase accessibility to safe and private housing, creating a secure and nurturing environment for children.

Community
We partner with the local community, including volunteers, local government and churches, to remove the stigma of homelessness and ultimately end long-term family homelessness in our community.
Family
Our approach is one of respect, compassion , and a focus on family to serve both our clients and the community as a whole. In addition to keeping the entire family together, we connect families to local support programs, empowering them to achieve confidence and self-sufficiency.
