We believe that housing is restorative for both the unhoused and for the communities in which they live.

We help communities reduce homelessness and achieve cost savings by providing empathy, purpose, and integrity to encampment closures.

Planning and discussion with sticky notes

We deliver insight from boots-on-the-ground experience, expertise from developing nationally recognized best practices, and tact in moving through the process of change.

Latin for “journey” and Arabic for “rapport”, the name Viam itself reflects our foundational commitment to walking alongside our clients on the path of ending homelessness.

What We’re Hearing

Here’s what Erin Read, Executive Director of Knoxville-Knox County Office of Housing Stability, had to say about working with us:

When we started working with Viam, our CoC was in a very tough place: it needed to be restructured, but there was heated disagreement about how it should look and where the lines of authority should lie. Viam was able to bring all the voices together into one conversation and chart a course that kept us in compliance with HUD requirements while making our CoC more functional and efficient. With Viam’s support, CoC partners are working together toward a common goal.

Bruce Spangler, President of the Knoxville Knox County Homeless Coalition, celebrated collaborating with Viam Advising to restructure their CoC's governing body:

It was a joy to work with Jonathan and Ana! I would recommend using Viam Advising without reservation!
