Pathways Landlord Services provide maintenance and related support in a variety of single-family homes, townhomes, and one and two-bedroom condominiums owned by Pathway Homes across Northern Virginia.

Through its housing and acquisition arm, Pathways has an inventory of privately-owned units that it leverages to contribute to regional plans to End Homelessness. These units, funded through state and federal awards and grants, are leased to community partners, such as the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board (CSB) at a discounted rate. The CSB uses the leased units to house adults with serious mental illnesses as part of its residential programming.

Pathways also uses these units to house vulnerable individuals with serious mental illnesses who would not otherwise have access to housing due to the homelessness and other eligibility requirements of available permanent supportive housing units in the region. Often, individuals who have graduated to full self-sufficiency are also able to move into these units with a housing choice voucher.

Services – Limited to responding to maintenance requests and community complaints and to ensure that:
– Units are ready for initial move-in and at each unit turnover,
– Pathways complies with all applicable housing and community codes
– Pathways remains responsive to tenant’s maintenance-related concerns and requests.

How to Apply: This housing type is not currently accepting applications. Access to housing is through contractual agreement with local CSBs and/or available as step-down opportunity for current residents who have graduated to greater self-sufficiency.
