The STOP Organization
The Southeastern Tidewater Opportunity Project, Inc. (The STOP Organization) was created in 1965 as the Community Action Agency to serve South Hampton Roads.  A nonprofit Agency governed by a Board of Directors, STOP’s annual budget exceeds $16 million.  STOP’s mission is to provide a range of services and activities which have quantifiable and potentially major impacts on the root causes of poverty. STOP focuses its efforts in areas impeding the achievement of self-sufficiency among the poor. Several program areas have been identified for service delivery, including employment, education, housing, emergency services, nutrition and child care services

STOP operates in the Virginia Planning District #23, which estimates its population at more than 258,000. STOP’s current projected target population exceeds 150,000 individuals, encompassing households at or below 125% of the poverty level as identified by the Federal Government. STOP recognizes that specific dysfunctions within a family are general indicators of multiple problems. Therefore, the “Total Family Concepts” is espoused in its delivery program.  Families are provided with a range of services that extends beyond treatment of the problem immediately at hand. STOP has years of experience providing services to its low-income population through its diverse program offerings. There are multiple programs and services available through these components:  Employment, Education, Housing, and Emergency Services.
