Realtors got an education Thursday about Prince William County’s Rapid Rehousing program.
The program’s goal is to find landlords with properties for rent and to move homeless families into them. The training provided at the county’s first Landlord Summit comes as nearly 40 homeless people will be forced off land behind Bungalow Alehouse in Woodbridge following a no trespassing order issued by the landowner, a Prince William County spokesman said last month.
