VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - VB Home Now is now accepting proposals from organizations that assist those experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis.

The foundation says it is seeking innovative projects that contribute to the city's homeless service system and will "prioritize funding requests that provide resources, create partnerships, and address gaps within our community that directly impact the homeless and at-risk populations."

The application package, instructions and eligibility requirements can be found at here.

Applications are due by Wednesday, Nov. 25 at 5 p.m.

The VB Home Now board of directors will choose grant recipients and award funds in December.

The organization says more than $1 million in private donations have been raised since the start in 2016.
