Founded in 1923, William Byrd Community House provides a full range of prevention-oriented, community-based programs to empower the individual, strengthen the family, and enhance Richmond neighborhoods. William Byrd Community House gives the working low-income families and individuals access to services for their most pressing needs such as viable housing, health care, employment and education. The goal of the agency is to work with community partners to find the appropriate pathways to success for those who walk through the door looking for help.
