The Planning Council serves as a regional resource by helping communities throughout Hampton Roads and beyond, implement effective strategies for those issues that cut across jurisdictional boundaries. We administer a variety of local, state, and federal programs bringing the highest quality of care to individuals experiencing homelessness, to military families with a special needs child, and supporting in-home and daycare centers, including serving nutritious food to children in their care. Additionally, we advocate for initiatives that benefit the region.

For 80 years, The Planning Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, community-based planning corporation, has worked to identify community needs, connect people with solutions, and improve the lives of children and families. We work with federal, state and local governments, United Ways, and numerous public and private sector organizations to meet human services needs and achieve significant and lasting social change

The Planning Council works closely with the United Way of South Hampton Roads as a Certified Agency, and partners with the federal, state, and local governments, along with a wide variety of public, private, and non-profit organizations to meet human services needs. We are proud of our long history of support from our partners.
