Congratulations to Access Point client, the City of Suffolk, for being among the localities selected to receive state funding for a project that will build fiber broadband to 12,223 unserved locations and achieve universal coverage in the City of Suffolk, Isle of Wight, and Southampton Counties. The investment comes through Virginia's VATI program, administered through the Department of Housing and Community Development. Through VATI, targeted financial assistance is provided to extend broadband service to areas that are currently unserved by a provider. To read more, click the link below.
Special thanks to the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization which was instrumental in enabling these funds to come to Hampton Roads!

Exciting announcement today for Access Point client, Dominion Energy, the City of Portsmouth, the Hampton Roads region and the Commonwealth. Access Point directly supports outreach and communications efforts for Dominion’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, which will generate enough clean, sustainable energy to power up to 660,000 homes at peak and avoid as much as 5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually once completed. This announcement marks a major milestone in the development of Virginia’s first offshore wind project – and the second active offshore wind project in the country. We’re proud to be a part of the team that’s helping to ensure this project is a success.

Mental health days. Meeting-free times. Companies are adding new benefits to help workers cope
With everything going on this year, mental health has become a major focus for employers, and some companies are increasing their offerings to help their workers stay healthy amid so much uncertainty.
Remote work isn’t likely to go away anytime soon, and neither should the focus on physical and mental health in the workplace.
While mental health programs at work are a growing trend, they’re even more important today with the pandemic upon us.
Please consider supporting.
With your help, if we raise $6k by Oct. 16 we have been invited to apply for USA Today's #ACommunityThrives grant for $100k! We're off to a great start. If we can get 150 donors to contribute $30 each we can meet their requirements and offer support to our immigrant neighbors. Visit nvfs.link/Act2020.
One of the programs that will benefit from this grant is our Multicultural Center. The mental health services provided by our multilingual, culturally sensitive staff provide mental health services to immigrants who face high rates of exposure to trauma due to war, death of family members, separation from family, torture, etc.)
Even during #COVID19 our staff is still working, helping immigrants and refugees in our community via telehealth appointments. Your support is invaluable to making this work happen!
