There’s a few things- Does he have insurance? If not, have him apply for VA Medicaid. This will open up a lot of various state programs.

You can contact the Portsmouth Community Services Board, they have same day access for crisis services and should be able to point you to a community-based provider or route to substance abuse programs (if that is the presenting issue).

Depending on the level of need, I work for a mental health community based provider funded through Medicaid and might be able to point you to some more resources for the Hampton Roads area. If I can be of any assistance, feel free to DM me.

I went last weekend, not really for the cherry blossoms but for the orchid show and to visit my son. It was a gorgeous day, also kite day on the mall, and there were thousands of people out enjoying a beautiful spring day. My only pinch point on the trip up was right before memorial bridge. The trip back, and I waited until 8:30 to head home, was pretty brutal. Traffic, construction, several accidents. But I had a fabulous day.

If you haven't already, send Dodson this language and tell them your intent to file a tenant assertion within 30 days if your lack of running water isn't fixed. If you've already written to them (in writing, no phone calls or verbal discussions), this 30 day clock may have already started ticking.

If the time comes and goes and they still haven't fixed it, you can start paying your rent to the court through an escrow account until they do fix it, and you may be able to force them to pay any costs you've incurred as a result of their negligence. This will get their attention.

This is the nuclear option and I'd expect them to not be happy and more likely than not refuse to renew your lease, but it's an option.
