James House tells supervisors it served 50 Dinwiddie residents and handled 1,000 hotline calls in 2025
Summary
James House associate directors told the board their agency served 800 clients in 2025, including 50 Dinwiddie residents, handled over 1,000 hotline calls and provided roughly 100 nights of shelter for Dinwiddie clients; they invited the board to an open house Thursday.
Dolores Jefferson and Anna Smith, associate directors with the James House, presented an overview of the nonprofit's services and local impact in Dinwiddie County.
"Out of the 800 clients that we actually provided services to in 2025, 50 of them were Dinwiddie County clients," Anna Smith said, and she added the agency took more than 1,000 hotline calls last year. Jefferson said James House provided nearly 100 nights of shelter to Dinwiddie residents in 2025.
The directors thanked the Dinwiddie Sheriff's Office for partnering on the lethality assessment program and said the agency has moved to LAP 2.0. They invited board members to an open house on Thursday at their main office at 6610 Commons Drive and described the agency's resource closet and client empowerment practices.
Board members praised the partnership and asked for continued coordination on school‑based services that James House has resumed in Dinwiddie schools.
