The Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) launched a pilot project to test a whole family approach aimed at moving families out of poverty by addressing the needs of the entire family through coordinated services. Funded by the Virginia General Assembly, the initiative was implemented across diverse Community Action Agencies statewide. Over five years, six sites enrolled 176 households, providing family coaching, tailored services, and comprehensive case management. The program focused on self-sufficiency, barrier identification, and data-driven evaluation to refine and expand successful strategies. Key accomplishments include increased earned income for 60% of participating households and a statistically significant average income growth of $11,202 per household. Families received services for an average of 703 days, with longer engagement somewhat linked to income gains. The pilot has transitioned into an evidence-based initiative supported by data and ongoing evaluation. VDSS continues to document outcomes and improve the model for broader replication.
