About Us

Diverse hands stacked together in unity.

Community Networks, Inc. is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that serves low income and homeless individuals in Berkeley County and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Originally established as the Berkeley County Coalition for the Homeless, the organization has been providing direct services since 1986 and formally became Community Networks, Inc. in 1994 as it expanded its programs.

Community Networks operates multiple programs designed to address housing instability and support vulnerable populations. These include Bethany House, an emergency shelter for women and children; the HOPE Living Center, which provides nine single room occupancy units for transitional housing for women; and housing and supportive services for individuals living with HIV and AIDS, including a drop in center offering pantry access, laundry facilities, case management, and supportive services. The organization also administers tenant based rental assistance programs to support long term housing stability.
